the enlightener says

"Six brothers died, but there is not much movement." The subordinate whispered, and explained the incident a little bit, "It is also not expected that there will be practitioners in the guard camp in advance. Although the level is not high, we must solve them. We still need to waste some effort, but fortunately, someone from our side shot him in the thigh with an arrow, so he didn't escape."

The hundred generals nodded, dissatisfied with the underestimation of the enemy: "Since it is General Lin's personal guard battalion, how could it be possible that there are not a few masters in charge? It seems that I have pampered you too much and made you not understand the heights of heaven and earth! "

When the subordinate was reprimanded, he didn't feel annoyed, but felt a little ashamed: "Yes, the general taught you the right thing, brothers will be more careful."

The hundred generals sighed, and said: "Forget it, fortunately, some of the brothers are good at archery, and it is good to deal with those practitioners."

On the battlefield, cultivators have always been a headache for both sides of the battle.

Basically, there are two ways to deal with practitioners in the army. One is to pile up people directly, constantly oppressing the practitioner's space, so that he has no time to breathe.

You must know that no matter how powerful a practitioner is, it is impossible to be tireless forever. When swords, lights and swords come overwhelming, he will be injured and die sooner or later.

The second type is suitable for battles with a small group of elite troops. The soldiers in the front row first restrict the movement of the practitioners, and then use sufficiently accurate archers to sneak attack when people are negligent. The weakening of strength, repeated several times, finally swarmed up and killed it.

Of course, these two methods are generally limited to relatively ordinary practitioners. If this practitioner has already entered the realm of a master, it will be difficult to stop him even if he wants to. He must use iron cavalry to charge or shoot ten thousand arrows.

But in this world, apart from master masters, among an army of thousands of people, there are very few small masters.

It is very easy for a person who can practice to such a level to be the guests of those gentry, why should he condescend to fight with his life in the army?

The subordinate looked into the distance, hesitantly said: "But general, there is only a quarter of an hour, we may not have time..."

Chapter 495 Fighting in the Tent

"It doesn't matter." The hundred generals said softly: "General Zhang means that you just need to pull out this nail so that it doesn't hit anyone. It's enough to deal with nearly 60 people, and it's hard for the rest of them to cause any trouble soon , the most important thing is the generals in the camp."

Speaking of this, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know what expressions they will have when they see this great gift."

Everything that happens here cannot be covered up for a long time, but no matter how the world changes, those who can stand in the limelight first will also take the initiative.

After all, Lin Xin's personal guard camp was loyal. Even when the situation took a turn for the worse, they still did not forget to do their part of loyalty. When they fled all the way away, the more than a thousand soldiers on the other side finally responded. come over.

So under the constant urging of the general, they reluctantly put down the wine bag in their hands, threw away the horse meat still roasting on the fire, took up their spears and swords again, integrated the army formation, and began to rush towards the camp of the Chinese army.

However, under the thick dark clouds and night, they were surprised to find that at some point, there was an extra wall in front of them.

This wall is made of flesh and blood, like a giant beast, and the spear is his sharp claws and fangs. The cold army formation is almost like pig iron in the night, and it is impossible to break through.

Four thousand against four thousand, who would dare to say victory easily?

And the tent seemed to silence all sounds at this time, and no orders were sent out, and it was not only the sergeants of the previous personal guard battalion who surrounded the outside.

The hundred generals predicted well, Lin Xin's expression was indeed not good-looking.

When he heard the cries that shook the night sky outside the camp, he felt that a torrential rain fell from the sky, dousing him from head to toe.

He sneered, raised his eyes to look at Zhang Jiuxin, and said, "General Zhang, what... are you acting in?"

Zhang Jiuxin still had a gentle smile on his face, but his words were full of sharpness: "Lin Xin, don't you understand what the brothers are saying? Or should I explain it for them? 'Slay the traitor'... here, who Is it a traitor?"

"Surnamed Zhang!" Lin Xin yelled loudly, "Don't think that everything is under your control after you destroy my personal guard camp! Don't forget that I have more than one personal guard camp under my command!"

At this time, Hu Tian, ​​who also held a part of the military power, also stood up, with a bit of persuasion in his words: "Old Zhang, everyone is not a fuel-efficient lamp, four thousand versus four thousand, don't you want to fight to lose both?" ?”

Zhang Jiuxin stood up slowly, with dark eyes: "I have worked so hard to bring these 4000 people here, and I always want to be of use, to be strong and confident. As for both sides, it is better to win with more, General Hu...you can think about it again." Think it through."

Lin Xin's eyes almost popped out, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's really courageous for you to use yourself as a bait, but have you ever thought that the distance between you and me is only ten steps, and I can kill you right now!"

"Of course I know." Zhang Jiuxin nodded, and said, "I am the only one present here who is an ordinary person. Within ten steps, any one of you can easily kill me."

It was precisely because of this that even though more than half of the people outside the big tent were Zhang Jiuxin's subordinates, they did not dare to rush in rashly.

"then you……"

"But this doesn't mean I will let you slaughter me." Zhang Jiuxin took a step back calmly, and glanced at Qin Ke slightly from the corner of his eye. He knew that he was making a big gamble—hope his bet was right. out of place.

However, Lin Xin kicked out furiously, and the desk in front of him suddenly spun into the air!

Lin Xin, who was full of energy and blood, strode forward in big strides. The distance of ten steps was only a few breaths for him.

Zhang Jiuxin took another step back. With his physical fitness, he couldn't do other moves at all in this situation.But this by no means meant that he would sit still and wait for death. The moment his heels fell heavily, the figure beside him jumped up high.

Qin Ke, who had been silent for a long time, was now like a big bird with wings spread, his fingers spread out one by one, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

After that, he fell downwards, but the wind in his right hand seemed to be real, and he went straight to Lin Xin's face.

Halfway through Lin Xin's journey, he already felt the violent palm wind in Qin Ke's hand. He knew that if he continued to move forward, his head would be blown out by this palm. His legs stomped on the ground, abruptly stopping his advance, and he also raised his hand, and slapped Qin Ke with his palm.

When the palms of the two collided, although the sound was not loud, there was a blast of air in the tent, which made the hair on Zhang Jiuxin's forehead flutter slightly.

Qin Ke then took a step back and bumped into Zhang Jiuxin's body, causing him to stagger a few steps backwards, looking a little embarrassed.

What Qin Ke didn't expect was that Lin Xin had expected his strike long ago, and it could even be said that the palm he slapped was not completely temporary.

The power contained in it is not only the power of his qi and blood running through his limbs, but also the inertia of his sprint just now and the power of his legs suddenly stomping down and extending upwards.

"I thought you would be very powerful..." Zhang Jiuxin was knocked to the edge of the big tent, his chest was in severe pain, and his face was pale, "You... are you sure you can beat him?"

Qin Ke was slightly embarrassed, and replied in a low voice: "If he really only has the first stage, I will never lose."

He didn't lie, and the person who had a more practical understanding of this sentence was Lin Xin who had slapped him in the face.

In fact, Lin Xin has been paying attention to Qin Ke, maybe even Qin Ke himself didn't notice—the aura around him is already different, but although Lin Xin was on guard, he would never think of Zhang Jiuxin turning his face It was faster than turning a book, and the cultivation of this so-called "loyal" "little guard" completely exceeded his expectations.

With that palm just now, he exhausted all his strength in a fit of rage. If he was a practitioner of the other first stage, at least his lungs would be shaken and his blood would be disordered.

But Qin Ke just staggered a bit, and even stabilized his body without falling down... Other than that, there was no abnormality on his face or body.

"Is this kid human? He looks so young, and his physique is as strong as a practitioner who has been tempering his muscles and bones all year round? Is this the second level?" Lin Xin cursed in his heart: "No wonder the surname Zhang dares to be single Come here as bait, I originally thought to rely on him at the critical moment..."

He didn't know that Qin Ke's cultivation was already approaching the realm of the little master, and no matter how thick his qi and blood were, or how strong his body was, they were no longer comparable to practitioners of the first realm.

It's just that after Qin Ke was seriously injured, he restrained and restrained his own strength, and didn't want to add more injuries to affect his future practice.

He really wanted to mobilize all his energy and blood, he was afraid that Lin Xin would not be able to survive a face-to-face meeting under his hands.

Lin Xin looked around the big tent, and immediately let out a violent shout: "What are you all looking at? Why don't you help me take him down?"

Among the five rebel generals, not everyone has reached the first level of cultivation, and some only have a little sense of vitality and blood. This may be able to take advantage of fighting with swords on the battlefield, but it is impossible to do so Running wild everywhere, once you face a real master, you still have to give up your life.

The balance of strength still leans towards Lin Xin, at least on the surface, standing behind Lin Xin is Hu Tian who also has the first level of cultivation.

But when Hu Tian was about to step forward to help, the pale-faced Zhang Jiuxin threw out what was in his hand, and the black object drew a straight line and rushed towards Hu Tian.

"Old Hu, take a look at what this is, and then make a decision."

Zhang Jiuxin threw out the tiger seal that Qin Ke gave him, and Hu Tianxia consciously raised his hand to take the black seal, and when he turned it over, his face immediately changed.

"What are you waiting for! Come up with me and kill them!" Lin Xin shouted eagerly, knowing in his heart that it was impossible to turn the situation around with his own strength.

Hu Tian and another general had already walked in front of Zhang Jiuxin, raised the tiger seal in their hands, and asked with disbelieving eyes: "What does this mean?"

"General Wang Xuanwei led [-] black cavalry, lying down five miles away from Pinggu, and waited for me to rectify the troops and horses, cooperate inside and outside, and break out of the encirclement!"

"Old Zhang... You, are you telling the truth? The general... is he really outside Pinggu? There are still ten thousand black cavalry?" Hu Tian felt that the tiger seal in his hand was a little hot, making him almost unable to grasp it .

Chapter 496 Two Heads

"If you think that the tiger seal can be faked, then you can take it as me deceiving you." Zhang Jiuxin stood quietly and said: "Master Guo's promise is to punish the chief criminal, and everyone else will be punished lightly. General...you all have a second chance to choose..."

The traitors looked at each other for a moment, hesitating in their hearts. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that if they were really desperate, why would they rebel?Now that Wang Xuanwei personally commanded [-] black knights to ambush outside Pinggu, would it still make sense for them to surrender to the Tang army?

Lin Xin saw the hesitation on the faces of Hu Tian and the other generals, and immediately became angry. He felt that he had really found a group of idiots by his side, and couldn't help shouting angrily: "Are you stupid? How could the general be outside?" He has been dismissed from his position long ago, even if the giant is extra merciful and let him take charge of the Mohist army again, how can he arrive here in such a short time from Jicheng to here thousands of miles away? Ten thousand black knights? It makes people laugh !"

Zhang Jiuxin smiled slightly: "General Lin is right, but there is not enough time."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xin was slightly taken aback and frowned.

"If you count from the time when Zhao Kuan's reinforcements were encircled and wiped out, there is indeed not enough time. But who is the general? Zhao Kuan is useless, and he has already seen a mirror in his heart. Then he led the black knight to the rescue in advance and there is no time to fight." What's so strange? As for the position of general..." Zhang Jiuxin sneered: "The reputation of the above general, does it matter if he has this position?"

"Do you think you can fool all of us by forging a tiger seal?" Lin Xin was still struggling, pointing at Zhang Jiuxin's trembling hand.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Zhang Jiuxin said: "However, you are different from them. No matter what, you are the first offender. Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, you will not escape military punishment..."

"Bastard!" Lin Xin snarled, all the blades around his waist were unsheathed, and he slashed at Qin Ke with a vertical chop.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Ke also pulled out his dagger, and faced the blade without fear. The two weapons met, and Lin Xin's wrist was suddenly shocked. When he looked down, the shining blade unexpectedly collapsed. There was a crescent-shaped gap.

Lin Xin let out a low snort, and immediately knew that the weapon in Qin Ke's hand was of extraordinary quality, so he didn't dare to fight with him purely. Following the changes in his footsteps, he began to chase Qin Ke's vital points and handed out the tip of the knife.

Practitioners who have survived life and death on the battlefield have rich combat experience, and they are not inferior even to experienced practitioners like Qin Ke.

However, although his offensive was fierce, Qin Ke who was in it was not afraid, and even seemed a little idle.

Because he knows that a person's anger is often due to sheer fear in his heart.Obviously, Zhang Jiuxin's words just now and the tiger seal have had an effect. The most obvious manifestation is that Hu Tian and others who were eager to try, now their feet seem to have taken root, and they stand in a daze. Take even one step.

They still hesitated, because they couldn't tell whether Zhang Jiuxin's message was true or not.

But if what Zhang Jiuxin said is true, what should they do?

You know, not everyone in this world has the guts to fight against ten thousand black knights... let alone that general Wang Xuanwei who is admired by all.

"Hey!" At this moment, Qin Ke shouted in a low voice, and he elbowed Lin Xin's chest just now when he turned sideways to avoid the blade.

The heart guard couldn't stop Qin Ke's strong power transmission. After a muffled sound, Lin Xin flew upside down and landed on the bracket used to place the armor, smashing the wooden shelf to pieces.

Qin Ke slowly withdrew his elbow posture, stood in front of Lin Xin with his chest upright, and said, "You can't beat me."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Every time Lin Xin coughed, he spit out some blood from his mouth. He was forced to circulate his blood and his chest was in severe pain. Among the sawdust, he looked in Hu Tian's direction with disdainful eyes.

"I thought you guys had brains anyway, but in the end, the mud couldn't support the wall. A few casual words from Zhang Jiuxin can make you hesitate. Are you worthy of being men?"

Hu Tian lowered his head and kept thinking, when he heard Lin Xin's sarcasm, he suddenly sneered: "Slime? You say we are mud? Lin Xin, you don't need to worry too much, after all, you provoked this matter first. Yes, the first crime, no matter how kind Master Guo is, no matter how leniently you are punished, it is impossible for you to let you go... A person who will stubbornly resist until the end when there is no way out, what right do you have to ridicule us?"

In fact, from the very beginning, several generals were very dissatisfied with Lin Xin's arbitrary temper, making it seem that he alone commanded thousands of troops, and they were just a few young people who could scold them at will.

They are all the same thousand generals, who can be a head taller than whom?

Since he could survive by taking a step back, and even turn around and be punished lightly, who would want to accompany Lin Xin to risk his life?

Seeing that the general situation was over, Lin Xin smiled bleakly, and said, "I'm blind, and I actually called you brothers and sisters with the grass that fell with the wind. Oh, you think you can live by listening to him? A joke! Even if Wang Xuanwei is true, Ten thousand black knights is also true, but once you get out of Pinggu, your lives will be in the hands of others! In case that old man Guo Kai recalls what you have done and thinks that you will not be able to close it until you die! You still have to pay for the tea leaves that catch your eye! Do you understand?"

His voice is like a lone wolf abandoned by wolves in the wilderness. Under the boundless sky and earth, facing the sweeping sand and wind, he lies sickly on the ground, and can only quietly wait for the unknown time of death. Waiting for the burial of wind and sand, desolate and heavy.

Hu Tian's face changed suddenly, his lips trembled slightly, as if the scene of the tragic death of tea appeared in front of his eyes, and a bit of sadness suddenly appeared in his heart.

He slowly turned his head to look at Zhang Jiuxin, hoping that he could give an accurate statement.

Zhang Jiuxin replied blankly: "I also participated in the death of tea leaves. You and I have both betrayed once. If I live, you can all live."

As for the guilt... the few people present were very clear in their hearts, and there would naturally be someone who would bear it for them.

This person was Lin Xin who was lying on the ground unable to move.

"Kill him." Zhang Jiuxin shook his head and said softly, "Let him live a little longer now...I'm afraid it will be more tormenting for himself."

Qin Ke felt suffocated in his heart, and raised the dagger hesitantly.

"The one surnamed Zhang, how dare you!" Lin Xin sat up with almost all his strength, because his Qi and blood were forcibly circulated again, his chest was in severe pain, and the blood in his meridians flowed disorderly. Finally, he turned his head and said, "Wow "Spit out a large puddle of hot blood.

He squinted his eyes and saw Qin Ke's figure getting closer and closer to him. The magical weapon in his hand reflected the candlelight like a will-o'-the-wisp, oozing a slight chill. All his fears emerged at once, and his tone turned into pleading: "Zhang... General Zhang, please forgive me, let me go... I don't want to die, even if I live one more day, one more day... You take me to Mr. Guo, I'll beg him, I'll make him a cow horse……"

At this moment, Lin Xin shed his hideous body, and what appeared in front of Qin Ke was just a person struggling to survive because of fear.

It's not so much that he broke his promise, it's better to say that he just does whatever it takes to survive.

If Guo Kai hadn't made a mistake in his decision-making from the beginning, how could he have fallen into the situation he is in now, and if he had learned that Wang Xuanwei had come to rescue him with a black cavalry in the first place, how could he have chosen the most compelling choice out of desperation? Despicable surrender to the enemy to save your life?

Qin Ke saw Lin Xin crying in pain, and slowly slowed down the movements of his hands, and stopped two steps away from Lin Xin.

Zhang Jiuxin looked him up and down, sighed slightly, turned to Hu Tian and said, "General Hu, why don't you come?"

Hu Tian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and when he raised his head again, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, as cold as the light of a knife he drew.

He walked up to Lin Xin step by step, turning a deaf ear to his hoarse crying and cursing. With the flash of the knife, hot blood sprayed onto the big tent, painting a terrifying blood red, a solitary head On, those eyes are almost popping out of their sockets...

However, whether it was Hu Tian who made the knife, or Zhang Jiuxin and others who witnessed all this with their own eyes, there was no fear in their hearts, but a long sigh of relief.

Qin Ke, however, was shocked by Hu Tian's series of crisp and neat movements. He glanced at the indifferent expression on his face in a daze, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He knew that this was also a person who would do whatever it takes to survive. The difference between him and Lin Xin is just that they are in different positions.

It wasn't the first time he saw such an expression.

On the road of fleeing famine back then, he had seen many such people with his own eyes, for a morsel of food, even for a pile of leaves, a handful of weeds... They could kill each other, even if they were originally a family, they would still hold stones , smashing the opponent until the opponent dies...

Perhaps... Most people in this world have two faces. Behind the usual modest and polite face is an ugly, inhuman face with beast fangs.

He sighed softly in his heart, put the dagger into the sheath somewhat despondently, and felt that the air in the tent was extremely unpleasant, with a disgusting smell of blood.

Zhang Jiuxin clapped his hands, and the hundred generals who had been standing guard outside the tent came in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the head on the ground and a corpse still twitching slightly in the corner.

The overall situation has been decided, with an unconcealable excitement on his face, he cupped his hands vigorously and said, "General!"

"Show this head to everyone, and tell them that Heiqi is outside Pinggu, and we all have a way to survive." Zhang Jiuxin stood beside Hu Tian in a calm tone.
