Chapter 235 A fierce confrontation
When Qi Chengcheng and Zhong Lingxi approached the Liangchengang camp, they met Yi Xifeng and others who were retreating together. Seeing their exhausted looks, the beautiful girl naturally knew that she could fight in the east camp before This success would not have been possible without the dedication of these partners.
"Brother Zhou, your hand!" Zhong Lingxi looked at the pale young man holding the halberd and the white cotton wrapped around his left hand, and couldn't help but ask.
After all, the two of them are both men and women who are the most outstanding men and women in the field. Although they belonged to different teams before this martial arts competition, they still knew each other more or less.
And the subsequent encounters also made these young people value each other more. In Zhong Lingxi's perception, Zhou Di's strength is considered to be the top among the twelve martial arts masters. Even ordinary warriors in the knight realm, young people Can compete with one or two.
The young man holding the halberd smiled bitterly and simply explained: "A little finger, it's nothing."
Qi Chengcheng also noticed that except for the two girls Lu Huahua and Wu Xiaoxiao who were normal in Yi Xifeng's group, the rest of the men were indeed extremely weak without exception.
"Why are all men so weak?" the funny boy asked curiously.
The fair boy glared at the other person and ignored the other person.
"Where did Bodang and Linley go?" Zhang Yanshi asked with a frown.
Zhong Lingxi shook his head and replied: "Don't ask us, they didn't follow us from the beginning." He pointed at Zhou Di, Yi Xifeng and others.
After all, they had decided to divide their forces for a night attack. As for Wang Bodang and Lin Lei, the beautiful girl didn't know.
Qi Chengcheng said worriedly: "They won't be killed, right?"
Li Xintian shook his head and said in denial: "No, Wang Bodang's field combat ability is very powerful. Killing him in the jungle would be difficult for even a warrior in the chivalrous realm. Coupled with Lin Lei, who has a flexible brain, the chances of something happening to them will increase." Extremely low.”
After hearing the masked girl's words, everyone was somewhat relieved, and the ten of them quickened their pace and retreated to Liangchengang.
…
Ji Rentu looked at the soldiers who were constantly advancing. They were wearing black armor and walking on the path in the forest. Looking at the hourglass he carried with the army, the bald man knew that just after the ugly time, it was the dark and windy night when people were killing people.
The two camps are not far from each other. Even though they are separated by dense forests, they are only more than ten miles apart. For ordinary soldiers, such a short distance can be reached in just a cup of tea. However, the black-armored soldiers walked extremely cautiously. It took half a stick of incense to walk.
The guards who had been squatting at Liangchengang for a long time were ready to rush forward. However, this tense atmosphere is not visible from the outside. There was no strong man patrolling the brightly lit camp wall.
It's not that they are lazy, but they want to be alert to the threat of the Demon-Breaking Crossbow. In this dark night, even if there are torches outside the camp wall, it is difficult to distinguish the black armored soldiers and those black crossbow arrows more than ten feet away. .
Finally, the black-armored soldiers had arrived thirty miles away from Liangchengang. Teng She, who was stationed here on the corner tower, looked solemnly at the darkness outside the camp, and the dead silence gave people a sense of terror.
"General, there are no troops stationed on the camp wall. We can send people to force it!" Hu Qingzheng said in a deep voice.
As one of the only four cavalrymen left by the bald man's side, he knows the role he should play.
"You lead your people, I will give you another hundred, and you must climb Liangchengang. Before dawn, I want to see our people occupy this place!"
The green-armored man's eyes flashed, and he immediately bowed and obeyed.
After all, he originally had 250 black-armored soldiers, plus the 100 people Ji Ren slaughtered for him, there were 350 black-armored soldiers, which was close to half of the total strength.
Looking at this camp, it can only accommodate 300 people at most. Although he didn't dare to guarantee that he would capture this place, Hu Qingzheng was still very sure of just occupying the camp wall.
The dull drum beat broke the last silence of the night. Facing the men in black armor, they ran towards the camp wall in unison. The unguarded camp wall was like a lamb just waiting to be slaughtered, thrown into the pack of wolves. .
Working in pairs, they set up the rattan ladders prepared in advance and directly climbed up to the wall. However, the fact that no one was stationed did not mean that they gave up resistance. The men in bamboo hats who had been prepared in a row from the camp center raised their magic-breaking crossbows and pointed them at the top of the camp wall.
"Shoot!" shouted in unison, and rows of demon-breaking crossbows accurately fired at the black-armored warriors who had just climbed onto the wall. Since the wall was now covered with torches, anyone who dared to show his head would immediately be greeted by crossbows.
………
Zhao Yunming looked at the people who had returned. After listening to the reports from Zhang Yanshi and others, a smile appeared on his stern face.
The killing of more than 200 enemies was an unimaginable achievement for these twelve iron-clad guards!
"You guys go back to the camp and have a good rest, and leave the rest to us!" the tall, thin middle-aged man said softly.
Yi Xifeng raised his eyes to look at this familiar yet unfamiliar middle-aged man, but still resisted the urge to ask.
The group of people slowly exited the tent, leaving only the boy with two swords in the tent.
Zhao Yunming looked at the young man in front of him calmly, but he did not speak. But Zhao Long still kept his hat low.
"Don't you have anything to ask?" the tall, thin middle-aged man said calmly.
"Why didn't you ask about the whereabouts of Wang Bodang and Lin Lei?" the young man asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Yunming raised his eyebrows and looked at his grandson in confusion.
"Are their lives so unimportant?" The boy with the double sword said in a hoarse voice.
The middle-aged man smiled and said calmly: "On the battlefield, human lives are like grass!"
"Then why don't you go to the battlefield?" Zhao Long continued to say coldly.
"My life, judging from the current situation, is indeed more valuable than you brats!" The tall, thin middle-aged man put away the smile on his face and replied calmly.
The boy with the double sword raised his head, and his eyes came into contact with his grandfather for the first time. He could tell that due to the inner strength technique, Zhao Yunming still looked like a middle-aged man, but through his eyes, the boy could Feel that old soul.
Yes, the internal strength technique can absorb the true energy of heaven and earth to strengthen its own functions, and can maintain the body's various abilities at their peak state for a long time. Some martial arts masters can even maintain this peak state until the moment of death.
Knowing that his longevity was exhausted and he took his last breath, he could no longer suppress the thick internal energy around him. At this time, the lifeless bodies of these powerful people will mutate to a greater or lesser extent.
In Buddhist sects such as Daming Temple and Baima Zen Temple, after their martial arts masters pass away, the inner energy in the body will condense in the major acupoints around the body and become "real Buddha relics", also called "relics".
In Taoist sects such as Zhenwu Daodian, Qixia Temple, etc., after their martial arts masters control the crane, the internal energy in the body will quickly return to the divine sea, forming the "True Yuan Dao Fruit", also called the "Human Yuan Fruit".
As for secular sects such as Luo Yun Sect, Holy War Hall, Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts, etc., when the masters of these sects pass away, the true energy in their bodies will go wild. For some unstable strong men, the corpses will quickly collapse, which is called "Eternalization". .
As for the masters of the magic sect, such as the great demons or devils from the divine and demonic sects, due to their special skills, they were born to plunder the true essence of heaven and earth. Once they fall, their physical bodies will immediately disintegrate, and these rich true essence of heaven and earth will immediately Feed back the world. Therefore, there is a metaphor of "when one demon falls, all things arise".
…
Zhao Long understood a lot from the eyes of the tall, thin middle-aged man, so the two of them stopped talking, and the young man turned around and exited the camp.
Zhao Yunming watched the other party leave and murmured: "Being able to see his companions means he still has a little love, but he still doesn't understand what a great love is. On the other hand, the fair-skinned boy who is younger than Long'er should also have seen something. But since I didn’t ask, it means that this guy has his own ideas and ways.”
At this point, the tall and thin middle-aged man sighed slightly: "Li Yunbo, a bastard, can actually give birth to two such powerful bastards as Cheng Qian and Cheng Tao. Now they have trained such an interesting person, not bad, not bad!"
But after thinking about it, he murmured again: "You can't take advantage of Lao Li's family so much. I think that girl is not bad. How about going to Lao Li in two days to propose marriage?"
Having said this, Zhao Yunming remembered what his subordinates had reported to him before, and a stern and disrespectful smile suddenly appeared on the tall, thin, middle-aged man's stern face.
Want to steal a wife from my old Zhao family? ! snort! You brat, you have never lost in this area since your ancestors!
…
Yi Xifeng didn't even realize that he was so interested in shopkeeper Zhao. Of course, if the fair-skinned boy knew that the girl he was sitting on was being pulled hard by a disrespectful guy, he would try to pull her away from his grandson. Then the young man would definitely not be lying in the camp like he is now, summarizing the gains and losses of this night attack.
Listening to the constant shouts of killing coming from outside and the sharp sound of the demon-breaking crossbow piercing the air, Yi Xifeng tried his best to calm down. Soon he was immersed in recovering his practice.
The fair-skinned young man was physically exhausted after a series of battles. Although he had taken several breaks before, after all, the war was going on outside, and he could not really calm down and reflect.
After practicing swordsmanship with Qingzhu last night, plus the actual use in the night attack tonight, Yi Xifeng has gradually fallen behind in his own skills, as well as the future development direction of swordsmanship.
His inner strength is still at the state of potential. Although the young man has touched the threshold of the realm of light through the "Wandering Dragon Four Symbols Boom" and "Qingming Morning Light Sword", the improvement of his own realm, especially before the knight realm The three realms are all hard work.
However, Yi Xifeng is confident that if he is given a year, he can enter the realm of Mang.
As for the development direction of his own swordsmanship, Qingzhu's teachings last night made him suddenly enlightened. This also confirms what Li Chengqian said, what suits you is the best. At the same time, Qingzhu's cultivation experience also inspired the fair boy. Others can create their own swordsmanship based on their own insights. Why can't I create my own?
This thought suddenly became unstoppable. Counting the "Thousand Miles of Rivers" and "Eight Directions Sword Curtain", these sword techniques created by chance, there are actually many things that can be incorporated into the sword moves.
Just as Yi Xifeng was gradually clarifying his thoughts, time also passed by invisibly. After an unknown amount of time, a crisp cracking sound woke up the young man who was immersed in practice.
"Click!"
Yi Xifeng suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the crossbow bolt that fell from the plywood at the top of the tent.
This jet-black crossbow arrow obviously lost much power after penetrating the plywood at the top of the tent, and he grabbed it with one hand.
"Demon-breaking crossbow?" The young man frowned and murmured in a low voice.
After dealing with this thing a lot, you can naturally see it at a glance. But what really worried him was the fighting situation outside at this time.
The tent he was in was located at the innermost part of the entire Liangchengang camp, at least thirty feet away from the outer camp wall. Therefore, it is difficult for the black-armored soldiers outside the Liangchengang camp to shoot the Demon-Breaking Crossbow arrows here.
In other words, if this place can be disturbed by the crossbow arrows of the Demon-Breaking Crossbow, then Ji Rentu's soldiers must have captured the outer camp wall at this time. As for whether they broke into the camp or not, it's hard to say.
In order to prove his doubts, the fair boy opened the tent and walked out.
It was almost dawn at this time, the eastern horizon was gradually getting brighter, and the scenery outside was not as clear as before.
"Uh-huh!"
Another demon-breaking crossbow, this time Yi Xifeng did not let go easily.
With a wave of the pitch-black crossbow arrow in his hand, it immediately turned into a pitch-black afterimage and headed straight for the camp wall. First he knocked away the crossbow arrow that was flying towards him, and then he ran straight towards the person who was attacking him unabated.
"Pfft!"
There was a sound of iron piercing flesh, and Yi Xifeng saw a strong man fall from the camp wall. He fell from the camp wall three feet high, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
It wasn't until this moment that the fair boy saw clearly the fighting situation here. Although he had only practiced in the camp for more than an hour, there were already many casualties in the camp at Liangchengang. Even if they haven't reached the edge of collapse, the constant shooting of magic-breaking crossbows from the camp wall since just now is enough to show that the balance of victory is constantly tilting towards the enemy.
The camp wall of Liangchengang is not very tall, it is only three feet high. For ordinary people, it's a decent living, but for warriors who know some kung fu, it's nothing like that.
But in terms of battlefield tactics, this camp wall is of great significance. This strategic location has a great impact on the long-range support of the troops.
Don't look at this insignificant height of three feet, it can increase a party's range by 20%!
Yi Xifeng found that his companions were waking up from training one after another in the tents around him. Although for many people, just one hour was not enough to restore all their internal energy, but they still had the strength to fight.
The fair-skinned boy looked at the fair-skinned girl beside him. She was still wearing a mask as always, but the other party also cast her gaze over.
"How about you make some rice cakes for breakfast later?" the young man asked softly.
Li Xintian nodded vigorously and replied: "Then we have to hurry up!" After saying that, the masked girl dodged and rushed towards the black-armored soldiers who broke into the camp!
