the enlightener says

Qin Keren was still in mid-air, when a sharp silver light came straight to his face.

But he also followed the silver light one after another to capture the direction from which the arrows were shot.

At this moment, Qin Ke finally saw clearly the general wearing armor with a resolute face, and then his eyes fell on the black iron tire bow in his hand.

Such a longbow would be very difficult for an ordinary middle-aged man to draw. Even a Qi and blood cultivator would not be able to use it easily without a strong body.

During Qin Ke's brief observation interval, the longbow in the hands of the generals of the Tang army burst three times in a row, and the three feathered arrows locked Qin Ke's position from three angles. From the sharp whistling sound, Qin Ke had already felt The powerful power contained in the three arrows.

With a quick dodge, he first avoided the fastest feathered arrow, but the other two feathered arrows had tricky angles, forcing him to curl up into a ball, looking extremely embarrassed and clumsy.

Did I still underestimate this person after all?

When falling, Qin Ke thought so.

But when his curled up body opened again and was about to fall to the ground, the Bodhisattva sword in his hand also spun along with his figure, picking the waist and abdomen of a cavalryman of the Tang Dynasty just right, and cutting his armor open as if with ease. Another piece of scarlet...

But his mind was not shaken by it, and he didn't feel any pity at this time. He just kicked the Tang cavalryman who was still gushing blood from his horse, raised his hand and pulled the rein to stabilize the horse. The neighing beast charged forward without hesitation!

Seeing Qin Ke's bravery in the chaos, the Mohist cavalry were full of admiration and blood boiled in their hearts.

A hundred generals had just killed a few cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty with a saber, and shouted: "Clear the way for General Xiao Qin, and let the arrows go!"

The black knight's hand crossbow fired in a flash, and a wave of arrows soared into the sky. It was so powerful that Tang Jun could hardly lift his head. Many people didn't even have time to see the appearance of those arrows. They only felt a pain in their bodies. , When the eyes go dark, then the breath is gone.

"Okay!" Qin Ke may be the happiest person in this rain of arrows. The black crossbow arrows passed over his head and covered the formation of the Tang army, undoubtedly opening a path for him to lead to the Tang generals. smooth road.

He took the lead and approached all the way. In a few breaths, the distance between him and the general had been shortened to fifty steps.

"Get out of the way!" The general of the Tang Dynasty vigorously lifted the shield array protecting him, and hit the guard directly with an elbow, and the guard staggered back.

The general of the Tang Dynasty took a step forward and saw Qin Ke's figure. The feather arrow in the quiver was firmly fastened to the bowstring with three finger strings. As he closed his eyes, he took a deep breath, and the feather arrow in his quiver was firmly fastened to the bowstring. The arms, waist and abdomen, and then both legs exert strength at the same time, and the iron tire bow is pulled to the extreme all of a sudden, like a full moon!

Sitting on the horse, Qin Ke moved forward all the way, just when he saw the arrow disappearing on the bowstring, his pupils shrank sharply.

too fast!

Obviously the moment he caught the arrow, the tip of the arrow was already in front of him, even if he wanted to dodge it, it was too late.

He didn't have time to think about it, and as he raised the Bodhisattva sword suddenly with both hands, a huge force slammed into the spine of the Bodhisattva sword.

Qin Ke's mouth was numb, but such strength was not enough for him to bear it.

The Bodhisattva sword in his hand slammed forward, and he immediately pushed back the two inches that was forced back by the arrow. No matter how powerful the arrow shot from the iron tire bow is, it can only exert force once after leaving the string, and no one hits the target. Under such circumstances, it is natural to slump to the ground.

Thirty steps!Qin Ke looked at the constantly enlarged figure of the Tang general, but the bowstring of the iron bow made a crackling noise again—the feather arrow came again!

However, this time Qin Ke was already prepared, the qi and blood in the dantian surged, and along the veins of the heart, spread to the limbs and bones.

He raised the Bodhisattva sword high and stabbed it down vigorously. With the sound of "chi chi", the feathered arrow split from the arrow, like firewood split by a hatchet, and became two and a half arrows, passing by. Both sides of Qin Ke!

Perhaps the force attached to the feathered arrow is too strong, splitting into two and a half arrows still has enough power, but the direction is no longer accurate. Following Qin Ke's two muffled groans behind him, two soldiers who wanted to surround Qin Ke suddenly Hit by an arrow, one of them clutched his chest, the other clutched his abdomen, and fell off his horse feebly.

"General! Go back quickly! General!" Seeing how mighty Qin Ke was, the guards around the general of Tang State also became terrified for a moment. They knew very well how strong their general's archery skills are, and this young man took so many arrows in a row , the offensive is still unabated, like a bloodthirsty tiger wolf, does it mean that his strength is higher than his own general?

In the current battle situation, the central army of the Tang army has been smashed into pieces by the Mohist cavalry. It seems that the defeat is doomed. What's the point of going on like this?

"Bastard! Get out of the way!" General Tang Jun originally wanted to continue drawing the bow and arrow, but under the obstruction of his subordinates, he had no chance to shoot this arrow. In a rage, he raised his foot , kicked loudly on the guard's chest.

Even though the guard also had a cultivation base, his strength was not strong, and he was kicked backwards by this kick.

But when the general of the Tang State pointed the arrow again, he was shocked to find that Qin Ke in front of him suddenly disappeared.

The war horse was still running, but without the rider's control, it naturally lost its direction very quickly.

General Tang's eyelids twitched, and then he finally realized something, and raised the iron tire bow towards the sky...

Qin Ke's figure fell down without a sound!

As soon as the Bodhisattva sword spit out its edge, even the hard iron bow could not stop it, and it quickly broke into two pieces. Although the feathered arrow resting on the bowstring was shot at the last moment, it lost its aim and passed Qin Ke's body. On the side, it flew out crookedly.

The Tang general fell back and drew his sword.

Qin Ke fell to the ground and drew out his sword.

The first of the seven swords to advance, Zefeng!

Although it is only the first advance of the Qijin sword, its power is not very great in the eyes of Qin Ke today, but it has always been the most convenient sword he has used. One sword is undoubtedly the most suitable!

The long sword swept across the air, as soft as a breeze, but as fast as lightning. The Tang general's long sword was only half drawn, but his wrist lost strength in an instant.

Because in his throat, a cold sharp edge has penetrated his flesh and blood.

The Tang general's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that there would be such a fast sword in the world, or maybe he didn't expect that he would die so simple and clear.

Qin Ke withdrew his long sword and panted heavily. In fact, it was not that easy for him to win. This Tang general's cultivation was far higher than he imagined. The reason why he died so easily was that he was caught off guard after all.

Few people in this world have seen the Qijin Sword, or in other words, few people who have seen it have survived.Who can know its sharpness and swiftness, and who can see through the cold killing intent hidden under its elegant moves.

This seems to be a sword technique born for the battlefield.

"The general is dead!"

"The general was killed! Rewind!"

Chapter 5 and Four

As soon as the Tang general fell, the nearby Tang army suddenly became confused. Several red-eyed guards roared and slashed at Qin Ke with long knives. However, before Qin Ke could draw his sword, a long halberd suddenly appeared, carrying a huge power, sweeping the Quartet.

One of the guards died in a single encounter, and the remaining guards saw that they could not take revenge, so they snatched the body of the Tang general under Abu's terrifying halberd with red eyes, and retreated towards Hou Jun.

"Ah Ke, how are you?" When Abu's long halberd cut off the general flag, he turned his head and looked at Qin Ke who was slightly bent over and put his hands on his knees and asked, "Are you injured?"

"No." Qin Ke looked at Abu's eager expression, and the Mohist cavalry behind him roared loudly. Knowing that the victory and defeat had been decided, Qin Ke grinned, "I'm just...a little tired."

Then he looked down at the ground. Although he said that the body of the general of the Tang army had been taken away, the iron tire bow he had used remained, broken in two, and lying alone on the ground, looking a bit dejected.

"It's a pity. It was a very good bow, much better than my hunting bow." Qin Ke said with some regret.

This kind of iron tire bow obviously took a lot of hard work in the hands of craftsmen to hammer it into shape. Once it breaks, even if it is connected back, most of it will be broken, and it will no longer be as strong as before.

It's just that he can't do anything, if he doesn't use his sword to cut off the iron tire bow, he is afraid that he will be shot out of a transparent hole in the air.

"You're still laughing." Abu glared at him, "What's a pity with a bow, it would be bad if something happened to you. Well, what are you going forward by yourself?"

Qin Ke glanced at the Mohist cavalry guarding the two of them. He didn't know how to explain it, but he just tilted his head and said helplessly: "I also came back to my senses and realized that I had rushed too fast."

While the two were talking, the Tang army was completely defeated.

The Mohist cavalry almost defeated the battle. Although Qin Ke was credited for beheading the general, in fact, there were only 1 Tang troops here, and most of them were infantry. Wan Duo's Mohist cavalry wearing black riding equipment is simply wishful thinking.

And the reason why there is such a situation is naturally inseparable from Wang Xuanwei.

Wang Xuanwei stood at the back of the queue, and Zhang Jiuxin beside him blushed, with excitement in his eyes, but he didn't dare to shout too loudly, and said in a low voice: "The wisdom of the general is really heavenly. In the midst of the chaos, Tang Jun's flaws were accurately caught."

If it was him, he would have lost his square inch in Tang Jun's encirclement, not to mention judging Tang Jun's weakness, I am afraid that the most likely way he would choose is to find a place to break through directly.

Although it may not be wrong to do so, once Tang Jun has a backup, all the ten thousand Mohist cavalry will be trapped.

It's just that Wang Xuanwei didn't have the joy of victory on his face, he just watched quietly, Zhang Jiuxin seemed to see a bit of loneliness from his eyes, I don't know if it was because in his life, such a battle was too much. It's mediocre, and it's not even worth making him think about it for a moment.

It's just that Zhang Jiuxin looked at Wang Xuanwei's stern expression, but somehow felt a little uneasy in his heart, and the joy of victory was also diluted a lot.

And at this moment when he was slightly melancholy, the situation on the court was completely one-sided, from a confrontation to a chase.

The Tang army was defeated, and the defeat was crisp and neat. When they fled, their posture was naturally very hasty, and even the flying flags were thrown all over the ground. After the general died, their only thought was to escape, escape from Xiaoshan, escape to the A place free from bloody killings and deaths.

It's not that they are not tenacious enough, but that they have exhausted their greatest strength.

The desperate strength comparison between ten thousand infantry and ten thousand cavalry cannot be compensated by will at all, not to mention that the fighting spirit of the Mohist cavalry who have been interspersed in the mountains for several days may not be weaker than them. Feeling depressed, they turned into bloodthirsty beasts, and every time they swung their sabers, they seemed to split the entire Xiaoshan Mountain.

I am afraid that only the most elite heavy armored infantry of the Tang army, the Shenwu Tianjun, can hold off such a turbulent cavalry frontal attack without defeat. Unfortunately, Xiang Chu seems to have no intention of using this force from the beginning to the end.

"Catch up! Catch up! Don't let these grandchildren run away!" Wang Nan's excited voice floated in the bloody wind, "With their small arms and legs, can they outrun a four-legged horse?"

While speaking, the saber in his hand swiped out again, slanting across the shoulder of a Tang Jun.

Accompanied by the sound of bones and flesh being shattered, that Tang Jun fell onto the dust, half of his body had been cut off, and the hot internal organs jumped out of his bright red chest, rolling twice in the dust. As soon as he stepped down, he was crushed to pieces by the iron hooves that followed.

Qin Ke and Abu supported each other and stood among the chaotic army, watching such a scene from a distance, they were silent for a while.

Now that the war has been fought, it is no longer a matter of who wins and who loses. Since the defeat of the Tang army, the foot of Xiaoshan Mountain has become a bloody massacre. Under the saber and horseshoe, it is unknown how many people are mutilated. The bones, some people are not completely dead, they are still struggling to move forward, as if as long as he keeps moving forward, he will escape from here and go to a peaceful and joyful place.

"What are we... doing?" Qin Ke finally couldn't help but suddenly bent down and vomited violently.

"General, don't chase after the poor. Bring Lao Wang and the others back. This guy's eyes are blood red, and he can't tell the difference between east, west, and north. If you let him chase like this, something will happen." Zhang Jiuxin looked at the leading soldiers from a distance. , All the way to kill Wang Nan in the past.

In fact, Wang Nan has been killed all the way, and he has suffered a lot. It's just that as a practitioner, his reaction speed and strength are much higher than ordinary people. Coupled with years of experience in fighting before the battle, there is no such thing as a single wound. In his vitals, it didn't even affect the speed of his saber swing.

Wang Xuanwei has been watching on the high slope, of course he can't see this situation, but he still didn't give an order, just kept silent, as if thinking about something.

"General. Give the order." Zhang Jiuxin emphasized his tone. Seeing that Wang Xuanwei still didn't respond, he couldn't help becoming anxious, and he didn't care about offending. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "General!"

Perhaps it was because Zhang Jiuxin's voice finally made Wang Xuanwei aware. At this moment, he heard Wang Xuanwei's flat voice: "Actually, it doesn't matter anymore."

Zhang Jiuxin was slightly taken aback, and hesitantly said: "General... what did you say?"

Wang Xuan slightly turned his head to look at him, the robe suddenly fluttered in the mountain wind, as if there were flying insects flying and buzzing in a flash.

Wang Xuan showed a slight smile, and said: "In that case, General Zhang Jiuxin obeys the order."

"Yes." Zhang Jiuxin's heart skipped a beat, he bowed his head abruptly, and said respectfully: "The general ordered!"

"The whole army advances and rushes out of Xiaoshan."

"It's... er... huh?" Zhang Jiuxin, who lowered his head, responded, only to realize that something was the same. He raised his head and looked at Wang Xuanwei with his eyes wide open, "Rush...out of Xiaoshan?"

"Yes." Wang Xuanwei had a rare and pleasant expression: "What's the matter? General Zhang thinks there is something wrong with my military order?"

"The last general dare not..." Zhang Jiuxin whispered: "The last general is just... a little suspicious... Let's just chase them out like this, and don't send scouts to investigate? What if the Tang army is ambushing behind..."

Although Wang Xuanwei had always been known for his strangeness in fighting, but after spending so many days with Wang Xuanwei, he knew very well that although Wang Xuanwei used soldiers like ghosts and was always able to catch people by surprise, he was not rough.

On the contrary, he was as meticulous as a hair, and his probing was as fine as a woman threading a needle. From a thread to a thread, he knew Tang Jun's movements like the palm of his hand. If it weren't for this, they would have been defeated by Tang Jun's siege long ago.

But this time, why was Wang Xuanwei suddenly so "reckless"?

However, this is not the question he should ask. He also believes that Wang Xuanwei naturally has his reasons for doing things, and some things cannot be easily explained.

No matter what, he just wants to live, to have a life to return to Xingzhou, or to take off his military post, at least to be able to reunite with his family...

Under Wang Xuanwei's deliberate indulgence, the Mohist cavalry were also in high spirits. Such a hearty victory was enough to inspire the hearts of everyone present that had been suppressed for many days.

The most important thing is that after leaving the border of Xiaoshan, it is no longer as closed as it is now, and further ahead is the dry river of Mohism. At the time of the previous dynasty, this dry river was not "dry", but a wide river. Stretching nearly a thousand miles from east to west, it was once one of the main roads for water transportation in the former dynasty.

Just over a hundred years ago, an unprecedented huge earthquake swept here, and the river changed its course. All the water in the river here seeped into the ground, exposing the dry riverbed, so it got the name of "Dry River".

In the eyes of the common people at that time, the earthquake was naturally a punishment from the wrath of the gods because the king lost his way. A certain king in the previous dynasty was fatuous and greedy. The big ship with a height of tens of feet moves forward all the way.

In the counties and counties I passed through, I don't know how many daughters of common people's families suffered because of this, and how many families were broken because of this.

Even now, the folk song "The mountains and rivers are far away and the water is far away, and the moon is drooping and the woman is crying" is still occasionally sung by the Mohists.

However, for the current Mohist cavalry, the dry river has no water, but it is convenient for the cavalry to move, and it extends in all directions, and you can go to Jicheng, Jinzhou, and Xingzhou. Even if the Tang army wants to besiege, if Without an army of [-], it is impossible to stop these [-] Mohist light cavalry.

And Tang Jun had already spent tens of thousands of people in order to intercept them before, so where could he find the [-] troops to intercept them?

From this point of view, Tang Jun's encirclement is already a failure. Although it is not a loss of troops, it has turned many days of hard work into a pool of autumn water. It can be regarded as a victory for them, isn't it?

"So easy? Then Wang Xuanwei told us..." Qin Ke whispered, but seeing Abu winking at him, he kept silent for a while and did not continue. His face turned pale from vomiting just now. After fighting for too long and too fiercely, he already wanted to leave the army, but there were some things that he could not decide.

"Only General Wang is clear about this matter." Abu tugged at the reins, and drew closer to Qin Ke, and said in a low voice, "We can only do our own thing well."

He raised his head, looked at the road that was gradually widening, and sighed slightly: "Besides, what he explained may not necessarily come true. Mr. said that the first thing to win a thousand miles on the battlefield is to count, but the second It depends on luck. No commander can control all changes, if there is... it is either a god or a saint."

However, Qin Ke's weak sentence from the side crushed Abu's words: "Isn't Wang Xuanwei just called 'seeking saints'..."

But at this moment, his words stopped abruptly.

Chapter 5 and Five

Because he couldn't continue, or in other words, everything he said was useless.

The distant breeze blows the yellow weeds, and a small yellow flower that struggles to get out of it in winter sways in the wind. It is so strong and unyielding, but it is finally crushed by iron hooves.

Qin Ke saw countless war horses.

The black horse armor covering the horses, like their riders, is made of refined iron. From the horse's head, neck, back, and buttocks, their lean bodies are strong enough to bear such a weight, making them even more impressive. They naturally carried a chilling aura.

This may be the first time Qin Ke has seen Tang's Xuanjia heavy cavalry. Even though they are separated by a distance of nearly a thousand steps, they seem small in his eyes, but once the ten thousand heavy cavalry are connected, they are like a black cloud. , weighed heavily on his heart, as if it was extremely heavy.

And on the right side of Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, the rumored Shenwu Heavenly Army also gradually revealed their figures on the high slope.

It is also armor made of fine iron, and there is a huge shield in the hand that is nearly one person tall. Every step on the ground seems to make the ground shake slightly, as if they are not infantry, but cavalry who are the same as the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry .
