This Taoist was originally full of confidence. When he was traveling through the air, he felt a little more proud in his heart. Suddenly he saw the contempt in the ghost general's eyes, and there was no companion following behind him, and he suddenly had an epiphany in his heart.
I am a little too impulsive. I don't know how much trouble I have caused myself due to this reason over the years, but I am still impulsive at critical moments and have not changed because of my experience and age.
Seeing that the opponent was sitting firmly on the horse without even picking up a weapon, the Taoist knew that this was not because of his superior power. This means that the other party is not afraid of himself, but rather dismissive of himself! Suddenly there was a trace of regret in his heart. He was still too impulsive!
But now it can be said that it is difficult to get off the tiger. Even if he regrets it now, there is no leverage in the air. Even if he wants to regret it, he has no chance. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to move forward. Looking at the faces getting closer and closer in front of me, I really felt that I had no regrets.
It sounds like a long time, but in fact it only happens in the blink of an eye. He could even see the fangs exposed in the other person's mouth. He had a ridiculous feeling in his heart, how come there really are people with fangs in this world.
But there was no time for him to think about this issue, because his hand was already in front of the other party, close to the horse's head, and the snort of the horse's nose could be heard.
This Taoist called himself Huo Long Zhenren. He was taught by an unknown Taoist many years ago and practiced the Zhiyang's secret art "Lihuo Zhenqi". However, he had a bad temper throughout his life. Although he had practiced for decades, he also had quite a lot of Zhenqi. It is unique, but it never reaches great success.
Staying in one place to practice will naturally not be of much help to your practice. Since the death of the unknown Taoist, he has been walking around the world alone in order to make a breakthrough in his cultivation. Due to his character, not only did he not get the joy of making great progress in cultivation, but he also attracted many enemies in the world.
After hiding here and there for a while, nothing really changed, so I had to keep changing my identity in order to stay safe. Later, he learned that Zhang Wenbiao was recruiting talents and took refuge near Hengshan Mountain. He went to the Governor's Mansion to seek an audience.
It can be said that Zhang Wenbiao is really thirsty for talents. Seeing that although Huolong has a bad temper, he is still somewhat useful, so he is kind and treats him as a guest of honor. But because of his weird personality, he didn't do much good. Even if Huolong Zhenren relies on Zhang Wenbiao, he has few friends and help.
He himself was vaguely aware of his situation. Many people around Zhang Wenbiao were prouder than him, so he secretly decided to show it in front of Zhang Wenbiao. This time Zhang Wenbiao was surrounded by enemies. Instead of leaving, he took the initiative to follow him, which made Zhang Wenbiao pay attention to him again and comfort him.
Just when the other party sent someone to deliver a letter to demonstrate, someone else around Zhang Wenbiao took action. He didn't get a demonstration, so he felt a sigh of relief in his heart. After finally getting into this kind of thing again, with his temper, he couldn't hold back any longer, so he took the initiative and wanted to show these people what he was capable of.
Of course, the most important thing is to let Zhang Wenbiao know that he is not someone who has nowhere to go because he is serving in the Governor's Mansion. Naturally, his sudden attacks and actions did not receive much support or sympathy. Because at this moment, Zhang Wenbiao was surrounded by people who were better than him.
Everyone looked at his rash attack, and behind Zhang Wenbiao's back, they not only cursed secretly, but also silently paid him a silent tribute.
A flash of silver light flashed!
There was a muffled scream, and the blood was particularly scarlet under the firelight!
Master Huolong landed a few feet in front of the horse, kneeling on the ground with one leg, looking pale and horrified at the ghost general on the horse!
His robe was opened on the front, and a slash from his left shoulder to his right abdomen almost cut him into two pieces. Blood was gushing out like spring water. If he hadn't understood his situation in his heart and quickly pointed at the acupuncture points near the wound, he would have collapsed with blood.
The ghost general looked at the strange-looking Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand coldly. He didn't even raise his eyelids to look at the real Fire Dragon underground.
A stream of blood was flowing down the blade. Under the firelight, it fell to the ground drop by drop along the cold and bright knife.
There's nothing fancy, no superfluous moves, but it's like lightning!
This is the inner evaluation of the person who has just seen the ghost take action. When their faces started to look better, everyone began to evaluate in their hearts whether they could dodge or fight back when faced with this knife.
The people on the fighting ship couldn't help but have their eyes twitching. Looking at this non-human ghost general, everyone knew him a little better.
He looks like Shura who came out of hell, without any emotion at all. With the grinning companions around him, they were like a Shura regiment. This ghost general's skills don't seem to be very strong, but his mastery of foreign moves has reached the pinnacle.
The accuracy and speed of his eyesight have already put many innate masters behind him. How could he have reached such a state without the guidance of an expert and the cruel experience of fighting. Of course, it is not ruled out that he can come through hard training.
But how can such skills be acquired by ordinary people? Could it be that it really comes from hell and is the Shura ghost general from the Nine Netherworld? Everyone felt that it was a bit absurd, but since Zhang Wenbiao was not surrounded by experts on the ship, they would naturally not think so.
Obviously Huolong Zhenren's skill is not weaker than this ghost general, and it can even be said that his true energy cultivation is stronger than this ghost general. Just because the man was helpless in the air, he was seriously injured by the ghost general's well-timed sword.
If Master Huolong hadn't reacted extremely quickly and his internal strength was stronger than that of the ghost general, I'm afraid he would have been chopped into two pieces with this sword. Even though he reacted quickly, his initial stupid action inevitably caused him to get stabbed.
The ghost general's eyesight has surpassed that of ordinary people. At the critical moment, he mastered the aura of the real fire dragon, and took advantage of the moment when he was breathing to take action, and the attack was sure to hit the enemy with one hit. Even if it is not an innate master, it must be a person who has achieved great success in internal strength cultivation.
Everyone is a little more cautious about this ghost general. A person or ghost with such skill is no longer something ordinary people can deal with. He was even more wary of the ghost generals who were guarding him around him.
"Who are you? How dare you stop me!" Zhang Wenbiao stood coldly at the window, looking at the ghost general on horseback. He knew that if he didn't stop this ghost general's momentum in time, he was afraid that the soldiers on the eight battleships would be severely hit.
This place is close to Guanyin Beach and very close to Yongzhou. Someone came to stop his actions, and it was none other than He Guo who had already occupied Yongzhou City. Zhang Wenbiao was both surprised by the reaction of the Han army and a little disappointed with the defenders of Yongzhou City.
I originally thought that I could rush to support Zhou Dunqi who had not been annihilated, but now it seems that Zhou Dunqi is already in danger. Zhang Wenbiao was not too sad, but worried about his own support. He rushed to Lingling City to help his wife's uncle Chen Luo.
The original plan was that if Xia Fu dared to go to Daozhou City, he could help stabilize Daozhou City, then he could fight back and surround Yongzhou City. Because his wife-in-law Chen Luo led his people to Lingling City. As long as he found out the truth, he could join his five thousand soldiers and jointly attack the Han army in Yongzhou City.
Now it seems that everything will not be so simple. Although it seems that the other party is ambushing in the main river, it is obvious that the other party has already grasped his whereabouts. Otherwise, how could he have demonstrated to himself in advance and then laid an ambush to wait for him to fall into the trap.
There were not even a hundred but dozens of spies he sent out on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. They were all veterans who had followed him in various battles. There is no doubt about loyalty and experience, but now no one has come back to report.
Zhang Wenbiao knew very well that now it was not about how to recapture Yongzhou City, but whether he would be surrounded by others. Although Zhang Wenbiao was surprised in his heart, he remained calm and composed on the outside. He neither denied his identity nor communicated with the other party overnight.
"Hahaha! Mr. Zhang, Governor Zhang, is so majestic!" He laughed wildly, his fangs at the corners of his mouth shining brightly under the firelight. The ghost general raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand with one hand, and the blade whipped up a blade in the firelight, showing that His strong arm strength: "Since you have entered the ghost realm, how about I, General Zhang, lead you into hell!"
"How presumptuous!" Another man beside Zhang Wenbiao yelled loudly, his voice buzzing in the air, showing his extraordinary energy, and a thud sounded in the air. Although he glared at the ghost general, he did not kill him directly like the fire dragon master.
He was the one who had just led the people to take action. He was another master gathered around Zhang Wenbiao, and he was a local in Hengzhou. It is passed down from his family that he has thirty-six hands of Buddhist Vajra Palm, and he is known as Mr. Liang Er.
He has always been extremely conceited, but when he led his men to surround the messenger, he allowed him to leave calmly. It could be said that it was a great shame and humiliation for him. One incident made Zhang Wen face a lot of shame in front of him, but it also made him understand that there are people outside the world. Now even facing this ghost general, he actually has no intention of taking the initiative.
This is a battlefield, not a single group fighting in the arena. Who will tell you the rules and fight one-on-one. Mr. Liang Er is not stupid, nor is he as impulsive as Master Huolong. He knew that what he was good at was palm skills, which were suitable for close combat. Just like if this ghost general danced the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, it would put a lot of pressure on him because he couldn't get close to him at all.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, I am much more skilled than this ghost general, and I can ignore the pressure of Qinglong Yanyue Sword and directly suppress him and force him to be unable to make a move. But this possibility is almost impossible. Although I am not very friendly with the Fire Dragon Master, I have an estimate of each other's skills. I am not much different from him.
That means that in front of this ghost general, he will end up almost like the Fire Dragon Master.
Obviously knowing that Master Huolong suffered a secret loss, it does not mean that he is not as good as Ghost General, but now the fact is that Master Huolong has really lost. If we fight at close range, Mr. Liang Er doesn't think it will be a problem to defeat this ghost general.
But if he wanted to capture this ghost general, Mr. Liang Er knew that the possibility was extremely slim. The murderous aura emanating from his skills showed that the fight against him would be a fight to the death. Mr. Liang Er came to Zhang Wenbiao just to find a good opportunity and a good background. If he even lost his life, what else could he talk about?
What's more, the archers around him are not vegetarians. Just because they are standing there without taking action does not mean that they are vegetarians. On the contrary, this kind of preparedness is even more frightening and worrying. With dozens of powerful crossbows shooting at close range, few people could escape.
It seemed like he was snoring! The ghost general on horseback had a penetrating look in his eyes. He was particularly scary under the firelight. He glanced at the people on the battleship and saw that Zhang Wenbiao was looking at him coldly without any expression. He knew that he still underestimated Zhang Wenbiao. , he seemed to want to see his actions, so he couldn't help but slowly raise his left hand.
The archers on the hillsides on both sides raised their bows and arrows one after another, their tips shining with a chilling light in the firelight. The powerful crossbows on the side were also aimed at the people on the fighting ship. Everyone stood in a misaligned position.
Although the crossbow is extremely lethal, it is a close-range killing weapon. The crossbows they hold are obviously very different from those used in the military today. It must be unique to the Han Dynasty in Lingnan. Since it is not close to the fighting ships, it will naturally not have much effect.
But since he also picked up the preparation, it was naturally to prevent people on the boat from jumping over, because he knew that there were masters in the world on the boat. Someone just like the Fire Dragon Master is also a threat to the people here, and everyone obviously doesn't want to cause trouble.
However, those archers are the real threat. The bows and arrows in their hands are all bows with an iron body of more than two stones, and there are also many strong bows with three stones. This can be said to be the most powerful killing weapon on the battlefield. If they all attack together, they will probably kill many people on the ship. Even some of Zhang Wenbiao's guests and people in the world would be in trouble if they were not careful.
Zhang Wenbiao's expression changed. Although he knew that he would inevitably die, he was still extremely aggrieved by being surrounded in the river and being shot and killed before his eyes. Although he is not a very good political expert, he is still a general who has experienced hundreds of battles. Seeing the current situation, he knows that it is undoubtedly the most unfavorable moment for him.
I originally thought that the opponent's weapons were similar to my own, but now it seems that it is not only due to intelligence errors, but also due to Chu Di's consistent contempt for Lingnan. He said with hatred: "They can only pretend to be gods! Could it be that the Liu family in Lingnan are just a group of uncivilized barbarians!"
But looking at the ghost general's face, he didn't seem to care at all about the provocation of his words. Zhang Wenbiao could only wave his hand to the generals around him to pass on the order and turn the tail boat behind into the lead boat. Everyone temporarily gathered in the middle of the river and retreated to the wide river channel in front of the elbow bend.
If there is no action, then the only choice is to stop in the river and be slaughtered. Zhang Wenbiao had anticipated the danger from the beginning, but he did not expect that all the spies would be wiped out by the other side, resulting in a missed period of time for preparation. This means that you have to buy a little time to prepare. If the other party takes the opportunity to attack, then you will have to pay a lot of price.
Seeing the flags on the ship waving wildly, the ghost general frowned slightly but still did not take any action. He watched very calmly. Although he had not yet become a general in charge, he had also studied many war cases. Looking at Zhang Wenbiao's dispatch, he suddenly understood the other party's intention.
He glanced at the fire dragon master in front of him who had already stood up, looking at him with eyes wide open, as if he wanted to swallow him whole. The ghost general didn't pay too much attention. The power of the sword just now had severely damaged the confidence of Master Huolong. Looking at the changes in the river, he seemed to know that he should put some pressure on Zhang Wenbiao, and he actually laughed out of the corner of his eyes.
The ferocious face, with a strange smile, looked even more ferocious under the firelight.
"Stubborn! Hopeless!" He waved his strong arm, and arrows suddenly shot out.
"Ah!" The hillsides on both sides of the bank were condescending, and arrows flew all of a sudden, shooting at the eight fighting ships in the river.
Although there were people on the boat setting up shields, arrows were shooting from both sides. Not to mention the arrows that shot straight, the ones that fell from the sky were enough to make the people on the boat drink. What's more, some people couldn't hold up these shields. Immediately, someone screamed after being hit by an arrow. Then there was a gap, and naturally a large piece fell down.
On Zhang Wenbiao's side of the boat, several guests from the Jianghu area saw soldiers hit by arrows, so they each showed some of their skills. Either use the weapon in your hand to knock off the incoming sharp arrow, or use your extraordinary internal strength to wrap up the sharp arrow with your long sleeves and shoot it back instead of a hidden weapon.
After all, the sharp arrows reflected back are not as good as those fired by bows. Most of them have no power when they get close. Not only do they not become pressure, but they seem to be a joke at this moment.
The archers on the shore fired several rounds of sharp arrows, and the eight battleships were still on full alert. Many people were still injured and died. Some people were even shot directly through the body by sharp arrows because their partners did not pay attention to their shields. For a time, screams and wailings continued all over the sky, and blood flowed freely.
Under the command of the flagman on Zhang Wenbiao's ship, the first ship slowly merged with the middle one, forming two rows of warships together. The eight battleships turned into four rows of battleships, and under the command of the flagman, they slowly formed a retreat in the river. Although each ship has more security on one side, the officers and men on the fighting ships have paid a lot for the formation of this layout.
Zhang Wenbiao had several masters and eighteen personal guards standing beside him, so there was no danger or uneasiness. Besides, he was also a general in charge of the army, so he was not afraid of stray arrows and flying arrows. But the soldiers accompanying him were not so lucky. There are naturally many people who do not have the strength to protect themselves completely, and those who suffer unreasonable disasters.
Looking at the fallen soldiers around him and the bloody battleship, Zhang Wenbiao was naturally furious, but because he was on the battleship, he had no way to deal with the ghost soldiers and generals on the shore. Holding the sword at his waist, he almost crushed the hilt.
As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, there were already many casualties on the fighting ship, but after all, they were soldiers who followed Zhang Wenbiao in the north and south. Everyone looked at the tragic situation in silence, and they were all furious.
When everyone looked at it, it was the people on the shore who took the initiative to stop shooting. They still stood there motionless, looking coldly at the people on the fighting ship. It was obvious that the other party was just trying to show off their attack. It looked like the arrows in their quiver were only a third full.
The Fire Dragon Master standing nearby seemed to have become an object of no one's attention. He looked at what had just happened as if he was dreaming. In the blink of an eye, a large number of people were killed and injured on the fighting ship. Although it did not damage the combat effectiveness of the fighting ship, it was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the confidence of the officers and men on the fighting ship.
"We are approaching Yongzhou City. Under the leadership of Zhou, the people of Yongzhou are all eager to return to peace! When a certain Han army arrives, tens of thousands of people greet it in the streets. Now Yongzhou City is the territory of a certain Han Dynasty! Mr. Zhang He is a high-ranking official of someone from Zhou, and after all, he is a representative of the Chu realm. Now that Yongzhou City has changed hands, this is not the place Master Zhang should go!" The ghost general laughed and looked at Zhang Wenbiao who had been gritting his teeth on the battleship.
The implication is that the Han Dynasty is the master of Yongzhou City. As an outsider, you, Zhang Wenbiao, should not wander around Yongzhou City. Seeing Zhang Wenbiao's eyes widening with anger, he said nonstop: "Yongzhou City is already in the possession of a certain general, so Mr. Zhang doesn't have to worry about it! If Mr. Zhang wants to be a guest, it's better to put down his weapons and let a certain general take the reins." OK!"
"You are so angry at a certain family!" Zhang Wenbiao almost took his breath away. Looking at the ghost general sitting on the horse, he shouted angrily: "Who on earth are you better than anyone under your command! What's wrong with you for spreading the word? His Japanese officials will definitely take him. Head!"
"General He of a certain family has Peng Nanjin, the ghost-faced commander, and he has five hundred iron-blooded Shura soldiers. If Mr. Zhang has the courage, a certain family will definitely accompany Mr. Zhang on his great journey!" The ghost general swung the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, and chopped it off at the head of the real Huolong, fiercely. The blade caused the surrounding fire to disappear.
Although Huolong Zhenren suffered heavy injuries, his roots were not harmed at all. He had just recovered some physical strength while standing in the distance. Seeing the murderous intention of the ghost general Peng Nanjin, he hurriedly backed away a few feet, ignoring the gaping wound, and rushed towards the shore.
However, after all, he suffered severe trauma and his body shape was much slower than usual. He felt his body tighten and was wrapped around a long whip. The severe pain made his vision go dark. Before he could use his strength to break free, the severe pain in his body made him weak and he fell to the ground.
A ghost general next to Peng Nanjin pulled Huolong Zhenren to the front of his horse. Several soldiers came over and tied him up. He fainted and was covered in blood. The ghost general smiled at Peng Nanjin, and withdrew the long whip in his hand. The whip appeared again and struck the Huolong Master's body, once again sealing the acupuncture points around his wounds, as well as his dizzy points.
"Brother Ye's skills are indeed superb, I admire him!" Peng Nan handed over to the ghost general and looked at the fighting ship in the river again, hoping to retreat.
Iron-Blooded Shura is the nickname of He Xiaoyao's personal guard Ghost Face City! Peng Nanjin is He Xiaoyao's personal guard. Because he likes to disguise himself as Shura when he goes into battle, he is known as the Iron-Blooded Shura!
Shura is a foreign race from hell!
However, many people only hear one-sided stories about the identity of the Shura clan members and the overall characteristics of their clan members. To some extent, everyone has his own standards in his heart. It is said that male Shuras are ferocious-looking, while women are pretty and charming. This is the consensus among ordinary people.
Peng Nanjin is like a Shura from the Nine Nether Hells.
