When Taligu saw the two of them escaping, he turned his horse and was about to chase them. Jiang Shuo hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother Taligu, the most important thing is to break out of the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation. Don't let your emotions get the better of you."
At this time, everyone also came forward, and Nie Li said: "Young Master Jiang is right, Tarigu, gathering the team and rushing out of the valley is the first priority right now."
Beimingzi said: "The people guarding the formation have left, take this opportunity to break through the formation! Old friend Dugu, where should we go this time?"
Dugu Wen counted with his fingers, pointed to the north and said, "Go this way."
Dugu Xiang said: "Grandpa, the entrance of the valley is to the west, how can we go north?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Grandpa has already said that the eight-door Golden Lock Formation is arranged according to the Qimen Dunjia. It is impossible to break through the formation in a straight line. We can only break through the formation according to the position of the Shengmen, and we can finally get out of the formation."
However, he saw that Beimingzi had led the Khitan cavalry and rushed towards the north. Jiang Shuo hurriedly followed and killed the group of Yiluohe warriors together. While fighting, he asked Beimingzi: "Senior, you have been here for a long time." You know Taiyin is Li Zhuer, right?"
Bei Mingzi said: "Yes, Li Zhuer is the person closest to An Lushan and his most trusted personal bodyguard."
Jiang Shuo was quite surprised and said, "Don't An Lushan know that Li Zhuer is the daughter of Khitan Qulie Khan?"
Beimingzi said: "How could he not know? In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, An Lushan and Li Guozhe killed Qu Lie and killed all of Qu Lie's adult children, leaving only Huaixiu and Zhuer. Underage brother and sister. An Lushan is a Zahu with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, but his mother-in-law is a Turk. It is a Turkic tradition to take the underage descendants of the exterminated clan as slaves. He saw how cute this brother and sister were. , so he left Huaixiu to Li Guozhi as a slave, and took Li Zhuer as his own. When he took Li Zhuer as a slave, Zhuer must have been only seven or eight years old. The next year, Nieli killed Li If things go wrong, Li Huaixiu will become the Khan of Xiaomeng, but Zhuer will always be a maid by An Lushan's side."
Jiang Shuo said, "Where's that dog?"
Beimingzi said: "He is also a descendant of a Khitan noble. I don't know the specific origin. An Lushan gave his slaves nicknames such as pigs, dogs, cats, and fish to show his kindness. Low status."
Jiang Shuo said: "That's it. I also thought it was a joke that she told me that "Zhu'er" is a "pig" that kills pigs. But since Zhu'er is a slave, she must not be trusted. How come she has become An Lushan's confidant? ? "
Bei Mingzi said: "Hey, Li Zhu'er, this little maid, is very scheming. She is always trying to please An Lushan, and she is also cruel to her own compatriots. You also saw Ta Ligu's behavior just now, so An Lu Shan Zhidao said that she was too young at the time to remember hatred, but now he has great trust in her."
Jiang Shuo said: "But...she is actually the Khitan's servant now, right?"
The two of them talked with their mouths, but did not stop with their hands. They had killed dozens of people along the way. Jiang Shuo used the sword in his hand to kill the enemy soldiers. He no longer knew how to be afraid. However, Beimingzi still did not use weapons and had a pair of flesh. The palms were either chopping or slapping, and all those who were hit were killed on the spot. He heard Jiang Shuo's question, but did not answer immediately. He killed a few more people, and then slowly said: "I'm not sure about this. Ordinarily she secretly Huaixiu and Nieli revealed a lot of information, they should be from the outside world... But it is said that she is very close to An Lushan, and it is not impossible to kill An Lushan with her skills, but why did she hold back for eleven years and never take action? Woolen cloth?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Perhaps Zhu'er is not the only one around An Lushan. She is not sure of success and does not dare to take risks."
Bei Mingzi said: "That's the same theory, but this time Gao Bujia designed and arranged the formation with the intention of annihilating Li Huaixiu and Nie Li. This is a major matter related to the survival of Khitan. How come she didn't reveal anything to Huaixiu and Nie Li?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Then, then...it's possible that she doesn't know Gao Buji's true plan."
Bei Mingzi said: "Gao Bujie mobilized so many Yiluohe, so it is unlikely that Li Zhuer was kept in the dark and had no idea at all."
Jiang Shuo said: "Perhaps she doesn't know that Gao Bujie's ultimate goal is to attract the Khitan army to annihilate him. She only knows that the target is you?" But he suddenly lost his words and said: "Hey...she didn't tell Bei in advance. Senior Mingzi, this is a grave crime of deceiving the master and destroying the ancestor..."
Bei Mingzi fluttered his sleeves and knocked away no less than a dozen people who had gathered around Yiluohe. He laughed loudly and said, "Even if
If Li Zhuer told me in advance, would I be able to run away without fear of danger? Moreover, the fact that I accept apprentices is very different from the Central Plains warriors. I have no family or sect. Accepting these two apprentices does not count as establishing a sect. They are willing to do whatever they want, but there are no teachers or ancestors like this. Be very particular. "
Jiang Shuo saw that he was full of pride when he said these words, and he thought that Beimingzi, the swordsman in the outside world, was indeed very different from the warriors of the Central Plains, but how could he talk about his two apprentices? Oh, yes, Yin Ziqi was expelled from his master's school and can no longer be regarded as his disciple.
He was deep in thought when he suddenly heard Huaixiu shouting: "The Shengmen has been revealed, look ahead, there are Khitan brothers who are surrounded again!"
Jiang Shuo looked up and saw that the middle formation was killed and a bloody path was made, and the gate of life was revealed. There is indeed a group of Khitan cavalry in front of them. This is a group of horse archers. Each one draws his bow and shoots on his horse. The leader holds a long bow, stretches his bow and nocks an arrow, and shoots in all directions. This man is skilled in bow skills and can hit the target with every shot. enter. Jiang Shuo said happily: "Brother Hang Han!"
Hang Han also saw Jiang Shuo and raised his bow to greet him loudly. Seeing that their arrows were about to run out, the bowmen and cavalry he led were very excited to see Huaixiu and Nieli coming with their large troops, and they all cheered. Li Huaixiu was overjoyed to see Hang Han and shouted in Khitan: "Brother Hang Han, hurry up and follow us out."
Hang Han said in Khitan: "This formation is very evil. I led my troops to charge and kill them several times. Every time they went back to the starting point, except for the constant loss of men, they could never get out."
Taligu replied from the side: "Senior Dugu has found a way to break the formation, hurry up and rush out with Young Master Jiang and this senior."
Dugu asked: "This is Xiumen, turn back directly to the south!"
Everyone felt strange. They just rushed out of that place, why did they have to go back? Beimingzi took the lead and turned back without asking. Jiang Shuo followed closely. However, when he returned to the south, he saw that the formation below had also changed. Dugu asked: "This is Jingmen, rush to the gate." Go over there and head southwest to fight!"
The Five Elements of Jingmen belongs to Lihuo in the South. It was originally the rear guard of the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation. There were many crossbowmen in the formation. It was supposed to be shooting behind each formation, but unexpectedly a large group of people came back and just penetrated the Jingmen. In the rearguard formation, the formation of the crossbowmen was in chaos for a while. Beimingzi and Jiangshuo, of course, had been holding back for a long time, and the Khitan cavalry rushed into the formation and slaughtered them wildly before they finally released their bad breath.
Taking advantage of the chaos, everyone charged forward and encountered little resistance. They once again penetrated the central formation and turned to the living gate in the southwest corner. In this way, they charged and gathered the troops all the way. After two miles of twists and turns, they gathered about four to five thousand people. The total number of Yiluohe was only four thousand. The Khitan cavalry attacked with four to five thousand people, which gave them a numerical advantage. . As we rushed to the mouth of the valley for the last time, we heard the sound of drums roaring again.
The mouth of the valley was narrow, so the Khitan cavalry could not deploy, and their strength advantage could not be exerted. Dugu asked: "This last formation is guarding the entrance of the valley. It's useless if there are too many people. We must choose elite soldiers and strong generals to break the formation with one strike." Turning to Nieli, he said: "Dayi Lijin, you choose a hundred cavalry and cavalry who are the best at fighting. One hundred archers, along with Bei Mingzi and Shuo'er, break through the valley mouth. As long as they penetrate this formation, they will escape and ascend to heaven!"
Nieli and Li Huaixiu each selected fifty warriors from the Diela and Chute tribes. Tarigu and Hang Han each led fifty archers to follow closely behind, and a cavalry of two hundred people followed closely in Beimingzi and Jiang. Shuo and others launched the final attack together.
However, he saw that Gao Bujie had stood on the rock at the entrance of the valley at some point, and played the eagle whistle along with the drum and drum. The Yiluohe warriors guarding the entrance of the valley immediately rushed up to the crowd like crazy. The Khitan cavalry had already arrived. After getting ready, the last hundred crossbowmen fired a volley of arrows, immediately knocking down many Yiluohe, and the formation was scattered. Nieli and Huaixiu then shouted and led the cavalry to attack and kill them. Even though Yiluohe was affected by the Eagle Whistle, he charged and fought fiercely without fear of death, but he was not immortal, and a large number of them were killed immediately.
However, they didn't care whether the casualties of these Yiluohe were high or not. They urged more Yiluohe to rush up. The two armies were getting closer and closer. The Khitans lost their long-range advantage and fell into hand-to-hand combat. Those Yiluohe were not afraid of it. The deadly charge showed its power. The Khitans and Yiluohe exchanged casualties. Seeing that they were in a melee, Beimingzi and Jiang Shuo came up from both ends and killed many Yiluohe, and then the situation was restored. , continue to advance towards the mouth of the valley.
Li Huaixiu was charging forward at the headquarters when he suddenly felt a blackout above his head, and a man was shot down like a big bird.
, but Zi Qi from Liu Yao had already hid in the tree at the mouth of the valley. He let Beimingzi and Jiang Shuo go over, and waited until Huaixiu got under the tree before jumping down and attacking.
Huaixiu raised his sword to face Zi Qi and blocked it. Zi Qi had no weapon in his hand, so he pointed his Qi sword at Huaixiu's heavy black iron sword. His Qi sword was as powerful as a sharp edge, and it hit the ordinary sword and broke it easily, but he didn't expect it. Li Huaixiu's Black Iron Sword is also an unparalleled magic weapon. The air sword hit the blade, making a harsh impact, but it failed to break the blade. Li Huaixiu relied on his natural physical strength to catch Zi Qi's air sword and swung the sword to face him. He struck out violently and even responded with a move.
Ziqi was shocked when he failed to cut off Huaixiu's sword with one strike, but how could he be hit by Huaixiu's sword? He twisted in the air and landed next to Huaixiu. With a wave of his hand, the air sword stabbed Huaixiu directly. Xiu's mount, his sword energy was comparable to a real sword. With this stab, blood splattered on the horse's neck, and it immediately fell to the ground dead. Huaixiu jumped up from his horse. Zi Qi was already waiting behind him, stabbing him in the back with sword energy.
Huaixiu originally had his back to Zi Qi, so he would not be able to dodge this stab, but he used the "Transformation" move taught by Bei Mingzi. This movement technique created by Bei Mingzi was really wonderful. Previously, Jiang Shuo and When Li Huaixiu fought against each other, he would always win, but he would avoid it with this move. He could not defeat it despite all attempts. At this moment, Zi Qi did not expect that Li Huaixiu, who seemed to have mediocre kungfu, could perform such a wonderful life-saving skill, piercing the air with his sword energy.
Zi Qi missed these two times, Jiang Shuo had already turned back, and swung the seven-star sword to stab Zi Qi, forcing him to take a step back and stand between Zi Qi and Huaixiu.
