And just as Jiang Tian carried the little round face on his back and stopped and eliminated several small groups of enemy soldiers who came after hearing the news.

In a slightly concave valley in the distant mountain forest, a continuous battle is also taking place. The two sides fighting in a melee were brown-armored soldiers who were similar to the attackers, and another army in green clothes and blue cloth with their heads wrapped around their heads.

However, these brown-armored soldiers, who numbered only a few hundred people, faced the Tsing Yi troops who were at least two or three times the size of their own and had messy equipment. However, they still relied on their well-trained and tacit cooperation to stay in position and maintain their formation with ease. Intact advantages.

On the high hillside behind the brown-armored army, under dozens of five-color fang banners, a group of brown-armored soldiers with exposed muscles and knots, who looked particularly strong, were surrounded by a general wearing a dark red armor. Watching the battle calmly;

In contrast to these strong soldiers, the figure of this dark red Kabuto general is not very tall, and even a bit comical in contrast; but combined with the red armor with black lacquer patterns and the ghost-faced Kabuto, he has a unique look. A blood-colored evil spirit and a breathtaking power.

"Young Master, these soldiers are obviously tired. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on much longer."

Immediately, a stout general covered in the smell of blood turned around and reported:

In front of them, on the battlefield between the slope and the valley road, many corpses were laid out in random directions; only a few of them belonged to brown-armored soldiers, while more were piled up with the corpses of Tsing Yi soldiers who lacked protection. This shows the disparity in exchange ratios in previous battles.

"Oh? But that's not enough! Our army set up an ambush in the middle of the road, and we were able to achieve this situation."

The voice coming out of Ghost Face Pocket was very young, but it was like a sharply polished edge, giving people a sense of coldness and sluggishness that was scratching the bones.

"It's just a local soldier who suddenly encountered it, so much effort has been spent! Then the subsequent pursuit and withdrawal will be nothing! Is this still the heroic soldier of our Xinzhou Tianling?"

"Young Master Ming Jian!"

This stout general in leather and iron armor could not help but kneel down and plead:

"It's true that the men and women are pursuing us all the way through the mountains. We are already too far away from the vanguard headquarters. The whole road is covered with mountains, forests, grasslands and swamps, and there are few people. It is not easy to replenish the troops and after dozens of battles, the men and women are also a little tired. ah!"

"Young Commander, something seems to be wrong."

At this time, someone stood up again and came to the rescue in disguise:

"Most of the roving teams that were sent out to recover and clean up the scene did not return on time; there was no response from Mingdi in the mountains; I am afraid that something happened."

After hearing these words, the majestic Kabuto general finally moved and said in a deep voice:

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's fight as soon as possible. The Zhumo Guards will follow me..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head slightly as if he had realized it; a sharp arrow scratched the ear corridor of his face pocket; it hit the throat of a guard who was close to him, and a spurt of blood spurted out in an instant. Splashing like a spring, it fell on the shoulders and side of General Kabuto's face.

The next moment, his Sakon guards exploded. They scrambled to surround it with their bodies, and pointed in the direction of the arrow, shouting in a rapid hiss:

"careful,"

"Secret Arrow Sneak Attack"

"west!"

However, before he finished speaking, there was another whistling sharp arrow passing through the gap between the running crowd. From another angle, it hit the card official who was holding the flag in the back. In an instant, he was seen shaking, and he and the main flag fell down together, triggering another round of chaos.

The Tsing Yi Army, which was gradually showing signs of decline in the midst of the fighting, could not help but regain its morale upon seeing this. Encouraged by one of the leaders with a thick beard and ringed eyes, he actually advanced the battle formation several steps further. Although there were many casualties, they still left behind dozens of corpses of brown-armored soldiers.

"The enemy flag has fallen,"

“The Baekje dog can’t hold on any longer!”

"Fuck it, harder."

However, at this time, the guards behind the brown armored soldiers were escorting the armored generals to move while spreading out to search and counterattack. People were killed and wounded one after another after being hit by arrows, but no one could find the whereabouts of the attackers.

Then in the chaos, someone discovered and noticed that the sentries and patrols originally placed on the outside of the battle formation, as well as the positions responsible for watching and warning on the ridge, were completely silent at this moment, and had no idea about the situation of the formation. Not the slightest response.

It's just that the Kabuto General himself is also one of the five feudal lords of the Fuso Domain, and the sixty-six states are in turmoil. From the dangerous land of Shinshu, where he is surrounded by enemies in all battles, he finally defeats all the competitors and stands out as the young generation of feudal lords. He reacted the next moment and shouted angrily to the left and right:

"What's going on? He's just a rat who hides his face and only dares to attack secretly. Don't worry about him, let me go forward and kill these Hanzhou native soldiers before we argue!"

Obviously, this armored general gained great prestige in the army. As he gave the order, the guards all around responded with a roar, raising their fang flags and rushing forward. The brown armored soldiers who were originally looking around in panic also suddenly Regrouping and raising their swords and guns, they pushed back the Tsing Yi troops with all their strength;

At the same time, the guards at the rear also took off the light short bows and tip bows they carried on their backs, and began to place arrows one after another in a condescending manner. It almost rubbed against the helmets and tassels of friendly troops and comrades, and penetrated into those green-clad troops.

Immediately, the soldiers in green who were fighting the most ferociously were shot down one after another and thrown to the ground. Even the thick-bearded and ring-eyed leader wearing short armor could not help but fail to dodge and was hit by two arrows; blood flowed out. More than once, he was quickly covered and replaced by the left and right.

And the Tsing Yi Army, which had lost its most aggressive leader, once again showed signs of wavering and collapse. In a secret post on a temporary tree on the ridge, Jiang Tian couldn't help but sigh again and dropped the short bow in his hand; because the key target had already blended into the crowd.

Next, he touched the little round-faced head that was placed on the tree with a worried look on his face but hesitated to speak; he smiled lightly and said:

"Are you willing to trust me again?"

"I only wish my ancestors a prosperous martial arts. Man'er is just waiting for good news; if anything happens, he will not disgrace his family name."

But the little round-faced boy gathered his clothes and put his hands together, paused respectfully and said:

"There's no need to be so serious. I have my own rules."

The next moment, he used his mind to simultaneously activate "auxiliary ability: guidance" and "auxiliary mode: endurance"; then, he jumped down the hillside. Immediately, a lot of sand, gravel and soil were brought along, and then the smoke and dust rolled down and washed directly to the rear edge of the brown-armored soldiers.

In the midst of the choking smoke and dust, Jiang Tian, ​​who was almost unaffected, wielded his dual-wielding dagger-shaped swords with great skill; he jumped into the nearest brown armored soldiers. As a few crystals flickered, someone suddenly lost his voice, screamed in surprise, and fell down with blood splattering from his throat.

Then, more brown-armored soldiers who were alerted were aroused with bloody courage and ferocity. They wielded knives, axes and spears one after another, and entered the period with hissing and shouting. It turned into a fierce battle one after another, with weapons striking, slashing, poking, whining and screams coming one after another.

However, the next moment, Jiang Tian, ​​who had re-incorporated, emerged from the smoke and dust, targeting the few remaining flag bearers in the rear formation. Facing one of the people who was exposed, he did not hesitate to approach and draw the hand crossbow, hitting the chest in the middle and penetrating the gap in the armor...

Then, the tooth flags fell down one after another. The Kabuto General, who had already taken the lead to completely kill and separate the Tsing Yi Army, also sensed something was wrong in the shouts of his followers. And when he turned his head, he saw a scene that shocked him.

Among the falling sand and dust gradually dissipating in the rear, there were dozens of brown-armored soldiers, dead and injured all over the place; there were even several pairs among them, chopping and stabbing each other with their blades and spear points; and just like that, With faces full of shock and regret, they died together.

And with the flash of a faint bloody human figure, the last tooth flag used to lead and direct the battle situation was also pierced from behind and the entire arm on the ground was cut off along with the wailing and screaming flag bearer; slowly He suddenly fell to the ground.

All the brown-armored soldiers who saw this scene felt as if they had been slapped hard out of thin air, and suddenly their morale was obviously shaken and collapsed. There were even some soldiers who could not be traced. While hacking and killing people around them, they shouted in fear:

"ghost!"

"There's a ghost!"

"It's demons causing trouble!"

"The mountain god is angry!"

"That's unreasonable!"

General Kabuto was also angry. He turned around and shouted angrily, ignoring the remnants of the enemy: Although the Fusang natives under their rule believed in this theory of ghosts and gods because of frequent natural disasters and earthquakes. But as a descendant of the heroes who made the eastward voyage and imported nobles in the past, how could he really care about this?

"Where are the monsters coming from in broad daylight?"

"There must be someone pretending to be a ghost, and they will be found and cut to pieces..."

However, before he finished speaking, his location was exposed again; he saw a guard next to him suddenly stiffened, and a sharp instrument was nailed into his eye socket, and he screamed on the spot with blood pouring out. The Kabuto general was also full of desire for survival in an instant, and he suddenly lowered his head and rolled.

He immediately missed another short arrow piercing the neck of another guard. Then, before he could draw his sword and stand on guard, he heard two short screams in succession. Among the five guards surrounding him, another one's chest protruded out of thin air, and another glared and covered his neck where blood was splattered. …

The only remaining guard who was closest to him sat down on the ground in shock, then rolled and crawled on the ground and abandoned him. The other Sakon soldiers also seemed to be frightened. For a while, no matter how much they scolded and cursed, they did not dare to approach him anymore.

"Damn thief, come out and fight me to the death! Ah..."

General Kabuto couldn't help but roar with great grief and anger in his heart, and he sat on the ground and slashed with his sword. Then suddenly there was a pain in his wrist and blood spattered from the knife. He quickly pulled out the protective dagger with his other hand, but he screamed again and was nailed to the ground with a dagger.

Then, in full view of the many brown-armored soldiers surrounding him who were cowering in fear, the armor-clad general's ghostly mask suddenly shattered, revealing a pale and incredibly young face. Then he opened his mouth wide as if he was suffocating, and involuntarily stretched and straightened his neck, but he could only make a breathy gurgling sound...

The next moment, the dagger he carried with him was unsheathed and flew up out of thin air, directly poking deeply close to his Adam's apple; then it turned on its own, and immediately cut off the entire head of the helmet. It floated swayingly again, and suddenly accelerated into the sky.

In an instant, all the brown-armored soldiers who saw this scene completely collapsed at this moment. Some knelt down in disbelief and howled loudly, some fell to the ground and knelt and begged and prayed, and some simply turned around and fled into the sparse mountains and forests...
