Chapter 240 Martial Arts Precipitation
Tiexin Village, somewhere in the dense forest in the east.
A group of cavalry in black armor were repairing here at this time.
Judging from their damaged black armor and sluggish appearance, this unit simply escaped from a fierce battle.
Among this group of soldiers, a man wearing red armor was particularly conspicuous. Looking at the soldiers surrounding him, he was vaguely surrounded by him in the center. It was obvious that this man was their leader. The leader of Ji Rentu’s four cavalry generals, the red-armored Liu Building.
"Sir, the pursuers from Tiexin Village probably didn't follow. What should we do next?" A black-armored soldier half-knelt on the ground and reported to Liu Donghui, who was sitting on a wooden stake to rest.
The red-armored man frowned and thought to himself that from a strategic perspective, there was nothing wrong with the night attack on Tiexin Village. It was just that the plan was determined by people and the success was determined by God. The other party was obviously prepared.
Just the woman guarding the city last night made him afraid to look at her. Although through the fluctuation of internal energy, he could detect that the opponent's strength was similar to his own, but the opponent was quite skilled in the application of tactical defense on the battlefield!
You must know that as one of the four cavalry generals under Ji Rentu, he has been on the field all year round, and he has participated in several major battles in response to Luo Yunguo's call. In terms of combat experience and battlefield command ability, there is no one in the entire Luoye County who is better than him.
However, just last night, a great cavalry commander of his own failed to capture his opponent during a night raid. Instead, the opponent was allowed to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
As for the poisonous bees and others who came to reinforce them, the man was convinced that he had lost. His cultivation level was at the level of a chivalrous person entering a room. He could not defeat him and led his troops to escape. There was nothing wrong with that.
After all, if you can't fight, just run away. The green hills are still there, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. But compared to the powerful force of the poisonous bee, he was more afraid of the tactical command of the city guard girl.
"Has it been counted? How many do we have left here?"
"Sir, the only ones who escaped with us are these sixty knights." The black-armored soldier just now didn't dare to disturb his master when he saw him deep in thought. When he saw his master asking about it, he immediately replied.
"There were two hundred and fifty riders who followed me out this time, and only these few people were left. Haha, it seems that Yinren Village has a big plan this time. It doesn't seem like it took a year or two to prepare. A few people have also prepared for this. It's been three or five years." Liu Dong muttered to himself and paused here, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice:
"If this is the case, we should set off immediately, go west to find General Ji, and return to him. I believe the general will also encounter considerable resistance at Yinren Village!"
After that, the man stopped delaying and immediately ordered the whole team to move closer to the west.
It's just that this place is already located in the eastern area of Tiexin Village. If you want to go to Liangchengang, you will have to arrive tomorrow.
Ji Rentu was pacing alone in the tent. Ji Shenfu's order made him hesitate. Obviously, the governor doesn't want to completely capture Yinren Village yet.
If this order came yesterday, he must have thought that Ji Shenfu was a little too cautious. But after last night's battle, the bald man sobered up. Yinren Village is not as simple as it seems.
At this time, a soldier outside the main camp bowed and said: "General, it's almost noon, please give me the afternoon command."
Generally, when marching outside, commands are issued every two hours (four hours) during the day and every hour at night. It is usually issued by the commander-in-chief, and the main purpose is to prevent the enemy from sneaking in.
Of course, the meticulous work mentioned here refers to the ordinary scouts. If the twelve people were sneaked in by a group of martial arts masters like the twelve people last night, and ordinary soldiers could not detect it at all, then this command would be in vain.
Ji Rentu thought for a while, looked at the dense forest outside the camp, and said, "Hongyan!"
The soldiers outside the account bowed and retreated.
The so-called swan geese are a specialized kind of bird that sends letters. Compared with ordinary homing pigeons, the swan geese can send messages over a much longer distance, similar to the peregrine falcons bred by Helian Tiexin.
At this moment, the bald man was more concerned about the news from Tiexin Village.
Liu Dong and Zhu Wen, these were two moves laid by Ji Rentu beforehand. On the one hand, they wanted to stabilize the situation in Tiexin Village so that the Yinren Village soldiers sent there would have no time to return to defense.
On the other hand, it is also a reserve force reserved for the subsequent capture of Liangchengang and launch of a general attack. He knew that although his side suffered heavy losses in last night's night attack, the situation in the Liangchengang camp was not much better.
Although the man fell short in the end due to the sneak attack of the Star Ape King, his losses were still within an acceptable range. Therefore, he did not follow Ji Shenfu's suggestion and chose to withdraw his troops.
Instead, he symbolically stepped back fifty miles to prepare for the next action.
"Qing Zheng, is there any news from Tiexin Village?" Ji Rentu asked coldly.
The green-armored man slightly cupped his hands, nodded and said, "There is news from Tiexin Village just now that Zhao Feng has returned to the village with a group of strong men."
"Are young men engaged in this? Where do they come from?" the bald man asked curiously.
"I'll make a detailed report and say that I passed through Yinren Village. The specific situation needs further verification." Hu Qingzheng said slowly.
Ji Rentu nodded and asked: "Is there any news about Liu Dong and Zhu Wen?"
"There is still no news from General Zhu. General Liu sent a message earlier in the morning and has already led his team back!"
The bald man frowned and said, "How many people did he bring back?"
"Less than a hundred horses."
Ji Rentu's face was a little ugly. After all, he had invested 500 troops in Tiexin Village, but when he came back this time, he only had less than 100 cavalry. In just two days, he suffered such a huge loss, which can be regarded as the greatest loss in his military career. A very rare occasion.
"It seems that these two people are not suitable for lurking in enemy territory and spying on military intelligence!" The middle-aged scribe sitting at the bottom suddenly said.
At this time, his hands were wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and he wanted the doctors who came with the army to help him put the broken palm back. But his pale face still showed weakness.
"What do you mean, sir?"
"There is a succession of masters, and there are specialties in the arts. Since Liu Qijiang and Zhu Qijiang are not suitable to do this lurking thing, just let the suitable people do it." Zhang Heng said slowly.
"Oh? Then who do you think is suitable for this matter?" Ji Rentu asked next.
"Haha, the general is joking. Of course, the general has the final say in the employment of personnel. The next counselor is just giving advice to the general. It's just that he was delayed from what the governor ordered." Zhang Heng coughed lightly. replied.
The bald man squinted his eyes, and he naturally understood what the middle-aged scribe meant. I don't care what you Ji Rentu wants to do, and I won't interfere with whoever you want to do it, but just don't forget Ji Shenfu's instructions.
Ji Rentu touched his bald head and said with a smile: "Qing Zheng, take your people and go to Tiexin Village to meet Liu Dong, and then find out something."
The chubby man with green armor immediately bowed and said, "Sir, please speak!"
"Find out Li Chengtao and his level of strength. Also, find out if this person is the person the Lord Commander has been looking for!"
Hu Qingzheng lowered his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, paused for a moment, but still bowed to receive the order.
………………Dividing line………………
Yi Xifeng and Ou Yezi talked for a long time in the dense forest of Liangchengang.
The old man's words will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the current fair-skinned young man!
"Boy, you must be less than ten years old, right?"
Yi Xifeng nodded obediently and replied: "Just nine years old."
Ou Yezi smiled and said: "Actually, it's not bad. If you can reach the realm of Mang before the age of ten, you can rival some of the disciples in today's world. Of course, there is still some gap between the top ones."
The fair boy's eyes lit up and he asked curiously: "I heard that the top sects or families in the world treat their children with all their heart! Some people even...even have the fourteen meridians in their body opened right after they are born!"
The old man smiled sarcastically and said: "Haha, you little brat is very well-informed! Yes, the situation you mentioned does exist. However, in my opinion, it is of little use. At most, it is just to win over a prodigy. It’s just a name.”
"Prodigy?" Yi Xifeng asked doubtfully.
"Today's world is controlled by eight sects! Even demonic warriors who never like to be restrained are restrained by the divine and demonic sects. As a result, many powerful demonic warriors have gone into hiding..."
When Ou Yezi saw the fair boy's expression of "Just keep talking, I'll listen", Ou Yezi couldn't help but explain:
"So many first-class sects, in order to show their sect's heritage, focus on cultivating their own clan's children, so as to gain a higher status and reputation."
Yi Xifeng touched his chin, nodded and said, "That's just advertising!"
The old man frowned and asked: "Advertisement?"
"Haha, you keep going on, I'm just talking nonsense." The fair boy smiled flatteringly.
"Although these people are far ahead of their peers at the beginning, the journey of martial arts does not depend on .asxs., but on the journey." Ou Yezi shook his head and continued:
"Every year, some magical powers emerge from various sects, but how many people truly reach the pinnacle of martial arts? Too few."
"So what do you mean?" Yi Xifeng finally understood why the other party said these things to him today.
Ou Yezi looked at the young man in front of him and said softly: "Sometimes it is not good to walk too fast. The faster you walk, the more doubts you have."
"So, old man, do you want me to suppress my own realm and advance?" The fair boy asked tentatively.
The old man smiled, and his raised mustache looked a little funny...
"Not now, but later."
Yi Xifeng scratched his head, obviously not understanding what the other party meant.
But before he could ask, Ou Yezi explained aloud: "Do everything possible to reach the realm of Mang as early as possible. Then, at the level of understanding the true meaning of martial arts, you can settle down more."
Generally speaking, warriors can realize the true meaning of their martial arts when they reach the realm of Mang. After fully understanding and finding it, as long as their inner strength is solidified, they can advance to the realm of chivalrous people.
But there is a very vague concept here, which is the understanding of the true meaning of martial arts, from finding, to understanding, to mastering, to comprehending. All of this can be called mastery, but everyone's level of awareness is different.
Like the previous Xing Laoer, Xing Lin. He used his magic power to absorb the ghost energy of his third brother, forcibly improving the purity of his own internal energy, and was promoted to the realm of chivalry in one fell swoop. This kind of understanding of the true meaning of martial arts only lies in the level of how to use it. Even if he does not die, then this person's realm will only linger here in the future.
Similarly, there is the black and white couple. The two of them have been stuck in the realm of the knight for decades and have made no progress. The reason is that they do not have a deep understanding of the true meaning of martial arts, and they only use the martial arts. Just treat it as a tool.
Just that day in the lobby of the Presbyterian Church, White Ape singled out Black and White, and revealed their true identity. You must know that none of the techniques from the divine sect or the demonic sect are too weak. This can be seen just by looking at Zhang Yanshi’s “War Hymn of the Holy Spirit”.
Therefore, it is not that the "Three Fingers of Desolate Yin" and "Nine-Yin Hands with Clouds" as black as mountains are inferior to Bai Yuan's stick technique, nor is it that Bai Xi's "Scorching Sun Sword Technique" is inferior to Li Chengtao's self-created "Guang Han Nineteen". state".
The problem is not the moves, but the people using them.
Just like Ou Yezi's understatement of the sword just now, or that stab. It's not some advanced swordsmanship or unique skill. It's just that the person who performs this attack is different. In other words, this person has a different understanding of the true meaning of martial arts.
One is to integrate the true meaning of martial arts, and the other is to understand the superficial knowledge. Even if the two are no longer in the same realm, it is not impossible for those who truly grasp the true meaning of martial arts to transcend levels and kill the enemy.
Yi Xifeng finally understood what the old man meant, and at the same time he also understood what the old man said before: "How those warriors who have truly reached the peak of martial arts can destroy the balance of the world!"
But when the fair boy came to his senses, Ou Yezi who had been beside him before was nowhere to be seen.
Yi Xifeng looked around and found that just like last time, he was left unprepared by the opponent.
"Haha, brat, practice hard! If you can reach the realm of Mang before the age of ten, I will take you to the world of martial arts and see everything!"
At this time, the old man's voice came from above the dense forest. It was obvious that the other party used the sound transmission technique, which made it impossible for the boy to determine the direction of the sound.
Yi Xifeng smiled and shouted loudly: "Okay! It's settled!" After that, only the young man's back was left in the empty dense forest.
Qi Chengcheng looked at the busy people in front of him, constantly carrying the injured to the back of the camp. The young man wanted to help, but these tasks had already been assigned properly, and his rash intervention would only make it more difficult.
In desperation, the young man could only go to Wang Bodang, Zhao Long and others.
Speaking of which, the seven teenagers in Yinren Village have changed a lot from meeting each other to becoming partners fighting side by side now. Although it only lasted more than a month, there were more changes in everyone's growth than in the previous year.
"Chengcheng, have you recovered your inner strength?" Wang Bodang looked at the funny boy with a smile.
Qi Chengcheng curled his lips and yelled strangely: "Humph, who is the young master? Well... well, I am in the realm of Qi, and I don't have much internal energy to recover."
There were two other people in Wang Bodang's tent at this time, it was Zhao Long and Lin Fenghuo. Speaking of which, the three of them often drank together, but they also often ate and drank together.
Lin Fenghuo smiled and said, "You have to hurry up. I heard from Xifeng that Li Xintian is about to reach the peak of power! Tell me, how embarrassing is it for you to let a girl younger than you pass?!"
