the enlightener says

"You really have a lot of secrets." Xiang Chu waved the halberd, the end of which was on the ground, "At the beginning someone judged your ability, saying that you are extremely accomplished in the art of war, and in terms of cultivation, you can also catch up with many top masters in the world ... But now it seems that you are still hiding your clumsiness."

Wang Xuanwei didn't speak, but kept his eyes closed, not knowing if it was because of these few arrows, his complexion was slightly pale, and his brows frowned a few times.

Xiang Chu turned around and saw clearly that the four soldiers composed of Xuanweizi drew their bowstrings again and pointed their sharp arrows at him.

It is also at this time that it can be seen that each of the armored soldiers composed of these Xuanweizi is very tall, and even Xiang Chu, who is like a giant, can only reach their waists.

In this way, their arrows are far incomparable, almost equivalent to the crossbow bolts on the moat crossbow.

And judging from the Xuanweizi that flowed continuously like water on them and finally gathered and piled up layer by layer, these armored soldiers are still getting bigger, taller, and...more powerful.

Before the arrow was shot, Xiang Chu had already felt the power that could threaten his own body. There were not many things in this world that could hurt a Qi and blood cultivator like him at the master level, but the Xuanweizi in front of him were clearly gone. have this qualification.

Xiang Chu was still unafraid, but was full of fighting spirit. Suddenly, he laughed loudly: "Okay, very good. If you can't even hurt me, what's the point of me killing you?"

As soon as the words fell, the three soldiers had already let go of their bowstrings.

Before the arrow arrived, the gust of air had already rushed towards his face, and the blood in Xiang Chu's body with disheveled hair poured into his whole body.

He raised his right foot and took a sudden step forward!

During this step, the halberd was already stirring with his arm, and there was only a dull impact sound, and a burst of energy exploded from the place where his halberd collided with the arrow to the surroundings, and the wind blowing Countless blades of grass scattered in all directions towards the distant sky.

Three arrows, so Xiang Chu swung his halberd three times, each time he swung more forcefully than the last one, the earliest first arrow he just resisted, but when it came to the third arrow, he was almost the first to launch Offensive!

After the sound of "Dang", the third arrow was scattered by Xiang Chu, and the sky was full of Xuanweizi's corpse.

But Xiang Chu didn't feel complacent or relaxed at all. On the contrary, his eyes were frighteningly bright, because the fourth arrow has arrived now!

The reason why he wanted to rush to attack was because he had already detected the fourth arrow. Although he released it later than the first three arrows, it was faster, and it was almost only less than two feet behind the third arrow. distance.

If the first three arrows are just a test, then the power contained in the fourth arrow is enough to kill a master in the realm of a master!

Xiang Chu already sensed the danger, so the circulation of qi and blood in his body suddenly accelerated several times, and even his skin showed a delicate red color, but it was not as attractive as the red glow on a woman's face, but rather hot. .

Extremely hot.

Xiang Chu defeated the third arrow and finally won a blink of an eye.

A blink of an eye is fleeting for ordinary people, but for a person like him, a blink of an eye is enough to intercept an approaching, galloping sharp arrow.

Chapter 514

The ear-piercing sharp rubbing sound suddenly sounded, and the splashing sparks illuminated Xiang Chu's low face. In his eyes, he could see that the Xuanwei on the arrow was constantly disintegrating, as if it would collapse immediately.

This also proves how powerful the power on this arrow is, so strong that even the invincible Xuanweizi cannot maintain its original form.

And the halberd that was facing the arrow was already slightly bent, forming a slight arc.

Xiang Chudu frowned slightly, feeling that the soil under his feet was being dug open continuously, and the boots, which had already been unable to bear it, were shattered bit by bit, exposing Xiang Chu's thick soles.

He took a breath, and as he let go of one hand, he closed it into a fist, and flicked hard at the curved position of the halberd with his not-so-strong fingers.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

Suddenly, more than a dozen loud noises exploded on the eucalyptus!

If it was a little grandmaster, under such strength, his whole body would have already collapsed and died.And Xiang Chu had already used at least seven percent of his strength to pop out this finger, and the blood in his body roared like a wild dragon, constantly rushing around from his dantian to his chest to his limbs.

With a sound of "Zheng", the halberd finally let go of the arrow, and at the same time, the pole made of fine steel suddenly straightened, and slapped the side of the arrow in reverse with the force of Xiang Chu's finger snapping just now.

At the same time Xuanweizi splashed, Xiang Chu started to run in big strides.

Every time, his knees sink slightly, he is as determined as a bird soaring into the air, and every time his bare feet land on the ground, he will leave a deep footprint on the ground, and at the same time, his toes will firmly dig On the ground, he tyrannically maintained control over his body.

In the eyes of bystanders, his feet never left the ground more than a foot away, but the span of each step has exceeded the distance of a person.

In three snaps of his fingers, he had already covered a distance of thirty feet. It was almost unbelievable that one person could do this at such a speed.

But Xiang Chu could do it, and he could even do it faster, he could touch Wang Xuanwei's body in the sky almost immediately.

For Qi and blood practitioners, the earth is their support, and it is because of the existence of the earth that they can borrow the power to move around.

Once he leaves the earth, even if Xiang Chu's qi and blood cultivation base is still strong, he can't control his body at will like a bird, and he will eventually become a living target for Xuanweizi's soldiers, which is why he chose to use this method. The reason for the seemingly violent way forward.

It can be said that Xiang Chu knows how to fight and is very good at fighting. It can even be said that among the masters of the same level, few people can do better than him.

Just when Xiang Chu was less than five feet away from the four soldiers, the bowstring cracked again, and the re-condensed Xuanweizi arrow finally left the string again, but he could not see the trajectory at the moment of leaving the string. is to disappear.

Because the four arrows were so fast, they ignored the distance and came directly in front of Xiang Chu.

Hearing the sharp howling wind, Xiang Chu, whose long hair was flying around, was not surprised, because he knew very well that no matter how fast he was, it would be difficult to reach them before the four arrows.

But so what?

"It doesn't make much sense to do the same trick a few more times." Xiang Chu sneered, his feet sank suddenly, and both soles of his feet stepped on the ground at the same time to create two deep holes.

With just one inhalation, his figure flashed four times in a row within a radius of one zhang of the deep pit!

Every time it flashes, it also leaves a faint afterimage, which is enough to prove how fast his four moves are.

And such a fast speed naturally requires more strength. Xiang Chu does not have much attainment in light body kung fu, so his movements are still so violent and unparalleled. Footprints—even crushed stones and crushed weeds into grass mud.

Four arrows came one after another, piercing his afterimage, and annihilated those faint shadows. The sunlight fell on them, reflecting a dark golden light.

But even so, they still didn't touch Xiang Chu's body after all. If they didn't touch him, how could they hurt him or even kill him?

But Xiang Chu stepped on the ground with both feet, but frowned slightly, feeling that the killing intent contained in the four arrows was too weird.

It seems... not for him?

He turned his head slightly, feeling the strength and direction of the arrow, and finally his expression changed, his knees sank suddenly, and he disappeared on the spot.

Wang Xuanwei was still in the air. Although his eyes were closed, he could clearly "see" through his perception that Xiang Chu was catching up with the fourth arrow at a frightening speed. , the fourth arrow was smashed into countless flying debris by the eucalyptus.

Then Xiang Chu pursued again, catching up to the second and third arrows in turn...

But no matter how fast he was, how could he chase back every arrow that passed by his afterimage?Practitioners in the guru realm are not gods after all, and will have their limits. Once they pass this limit, they can only feel helpless.

Xiang Chu finally stopped, staring at the arrow that could no longer be caught up, piercing through several Shenwu Heavenly Army, and shooting a general into flesh and blood all over the sky.

He became angry, suddenly raised his head and said to Wang Xuanwei: "Is this the answer you gave me?"

Wang Xuanwei was floating at a very high place, but he could still hear Xiang Chu's words clearly. Facing this opponent's question, he just replied softly: "You want the answer, but I didn't ask this question. of."

From the very beginning, it was just Xiang Chu's unilateral desire to confront him, but in Wang Xuanwei's view, this kind of victory or defeat was really boring.

His life is not without failure, and it can even be said that he is already a complete failure.

He lost to Zhuge Wanling, because he left Jicheng with his troops without authorization, which aroused the suspicion of the giant and the attacks of the courtiers.

Later, he lost to the courtiers in the court, was dismissed from the position of general, and became a wealthy idler who could not lead troops.

If he is still the top general back then, then behind him should be the real black knight and countless soldiers who swore allegiance to the Mo family.

The world called him a holy seeker, and folk troupes continued to praise his deeds of leading the Mohist army to victorious battles, but when he faded away from those halos, he was just a mortal after all, and it was impossible to cover everything.

That being the case, what victory or defeat does he need to talk about?

The question Xiang Chu asked was "Who will win and who will lose", but he didn't want to answer it, because he knew very well that even if he answered, he would still be one step behind, and this step may determine many things.

What he was thinking about at the moment was not the strength of a person, but the success or failure of a war, or even the gain or loss of a country, so he controlled the soldiers to shoot the four arrows and shot them in four different directions.

In fact, the four arrows were not aimed at Xiang Chu at all. Although his trajectory passed the position where Xiang Chu was standing, each arrow was actually aimed at a general of the Tang army. In a war, not the death of every general can determine the outcome of a war.

But he was tantamount to asking Xiang Chu a question in reverse.

He was asking Xiang Chu: What is more important in your mind, victory or defeat, or the lives of your subordinates?

Xiang Chu looked at the arrows that had been wound up again by Xuanweizi's soldiers, felt the direction they were pointing, and fell silent for a moment.

He didn't expect that he would fall into such a dilemma, but at this moment he had to admit that he really couldn't give up the lives of those people.

Because these people are all his subordinates, although Xiang Chu doesn't have much real affection for them, these people are the elites he has spent many years training, and they will be the most important backbone of the Tang army in the future.

Chapter 515 Overlook

As the old saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get but a general is hard to find.

Among the opposing sides, one is Xiang Chu, a rising star in the Tang Kingdom after Cai Yong, and the other is Wang Xuanwei, who has been famous for many years and has even been mythological.

Thousands of sergeants rushed to the battlefield because of their words, holding up the banner and waving their spears to fight with their lives but never turning back. They are really a general in a thousand troops.

People like them are the true soul of an army, and it is precisely because of their existence that they can unite the hearts of the entire army, determine the outcome of a war, and even determine the relationship between one country and another. national luck.

Even so, it does not mean that the middle and high-level officers and generals on this battlefield are not important.

An army can be as small as tens of hundreds of people, or as large as tens of thousands of people. A backbone is of course indispensable, but even people like Xiang Chu and Wang Xuanwei cannot control the entire army with just one person. an army.

They want to form troops, they want to form formations, they want to launch a massive attack, and they want to shrink back to preserve their own strength. Could it be that these orders made them ride around on horses themselves, shouting at the top of their voices amidst the shouts of tens of thousands of people? ?

What's more, in this army of tens of thousands of people, most of them can't read a lot of characters, and they basically don't know anything about the art of war and military formation. Judging whether you should go forward or back, go left or right, whether to intercept or open the way, is basically a difficult task for the strong.

Not to mention, the tactics of dividing troops into raids and attacking from two wings must be done by the subordinates themselves.

At this time, those promoted officers and generals became the most powerful arm of the commander.

On the one hand, they were originally selected from the army, so they naturally have enough reputation in the army to make the people below obey unconditionally. On the other hand, they have already possessed qualities different from ordinary soldiers during training. Can understand the orders of superiors and follow them firmly.

From them, the commander can establish a powerful line, conveying their will all the way in such a way.

It is like countless tentacles interspersed in the army, from the Chongfu to the regiment, from the brigade to the team, and even to each individual, finally twisting the entire army tightly into a rope, like waving arms.

Training soldiers and training generals have always been integrated, and only after training as a general can you train a strong soldier.

Xiang Chu is well aware of this truth, so from the first day he took over the Southern Army, he has already set his sights on these officers. Among them, he is most satisfied with the position of "General Yunhui" Long Ju, in the Tang Kingdom, he even has the title of "Little Xiang Chu".

Under the training of Xiang Chu, countless officers continued to grow, and eventually scattered in the entire army, like seeds being sown, and under the witness of time, they thrived, gave birth to strong branches, and became army soldiers one after another. The pillars of China.

Now Wang Xuanwei is threatening him with these pillars.

Perhaps, it's not that he can't lose these pillars, after all, he has already made the arrangements for this battle.

With 9000 Tang Kingdom's strongest infantry and [-] Tang Kingdom's toughest armored cavalry, with this lineup against Wang Xuanwei's light cavalry, which has less than [-] troops, it can be said that they are sure to win.

Even if Wang Xuanwei's Xuanweizi frenzy did bring them some trouble, Xiang Chu also knew very well that no matter how strong Wang Xuanwei was, how long could he maintain this state?

He is not a god, he is just a practitioner, even if he has a high level, he will eventually get tired. Even if he sacrifices his life and kills dozens or hundreds of officers in the army, he still cannot prevent the final outcome of this war.

He can kill Wang Xuanwei with his own hands only by giving up the lives of these people. This myth standing proudly above sounds very worthwhile, doesn't it?

"But you know, I will never be satisfied and stop here." Xiang Chu ignored the already wound arrow, raised his head and sighed softly, "The achievements that I, Xiang Chu, want to build are not limited to you, Wang Xuanwei, but to this mighty world! "

That being the case, how could he ignore those officers?Without these people, what would he have to face other enemies who were not weaker than Wang Xuanwei?

Cao Meng and Liu De in the north, and Gao Changgong in the south are all opponents that he has not yet conquered. Besides, there are also those who have the same status as him.

They are still lurking in the darkness now, but it is foreseeable that after the death of the Lord, they who have already been unable to restrain themselves will show their minions one by one, and stand out in this vast battlefield... Become his enemy.

He couldn't lose them just yet until the dust settled.

Xiang Chu's complexion gradually turned cold, his eyes seemed to have condensed into ice, and he said with a cold chill: "That's right. You really caught my flaw."

But just as the words fell, Wang Xuanwei suddenly felt a figure jumping up in his consciousness, shooting towards him like an arrow that left the string!

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, and as his fingers trembled slightly, the arrows on the bows of the four soldiers left the string at the same time.

This time, without Xiang Chu's obstruction, the four arrows completely turned into a terrifying dark golden light on the battlefield, bringing blood and death to different directions.

In the battle formation, a Shenwu Tianjun held up a large shield, adjusted the angle of the spear in his hand, and aimed the edge at the approaching Mohist cavalry as much as possible.

The rumbling drums and the sound of shouting and killing made his mouth dry, his heart was beating violently in his chest, and he was breathing heavily with his mouth.Before the war, he thought it was a war of annihilation, but after the war, everything that happened subverted his expectations.

But even so, he still hissed and roared: "Don't retreat! There are no cowards who are afraid of death in the Shenwu Heavenly Army. If there are, then don't put on this armor. No matter how strong that person is? Is it possible that he can still kill us? Can't kill them all? What's more, General Xiang has already rushed over, this battle... will definitely be won!"

After all, it is the first army of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone in this team can be regarded as a strong man, even though they have witnessed how the group of terrifying insects surging like a tide in front of them devoured armor and shields, However, the battle formation has always been stabilized under the control of various generals.

And as time went by, the officer of the Shenwu Heavenly Army could already feel that the speed of the Xuanwei in front of him was slowing down. I don't know if it was because they ate too much food, or because Wang Xuanwei was constantly becoming weaker. weak.

But at least from all indications, the group of Mohist cavalry who wantonly slashed and killed their Paoze brothers are losing that layer of protection supported by one person.

Dissipate quickly, dissipate quickly, until this group of damned bugs can no longer move forward as before, we will put you Mohist sons of bitches on the tip of the spear, and use your blood to wash away the humiliation we have endured .

The officer of the Shenwu Heavenly Army gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice.

A howling wind blew his eyes under the visor slightly narrowed, and he heard a cracking sound, as if something was breaking apart suddenly, and some blood-red liquid suddenly bloomed into bewitching flowers.

He felt the slimy liquid flowing in his chest, felt the pain that pierced through him was burning his nerves, he couldn't help frowning, a little strange.

Where did the arrow come from, and how could it penetrate his hard armor?

It's just that he couldn't get an answer to this question in Yangjian anymore, because his upper body fell lightly on the ground now, and his wide-open eyes were filled with confusion, which was soon covered by the blood overflowing from his visor.

In the army formation, some people died in front of the formation, some died on horseback, some were still waving flags and shouting before they died, and some were holding high flags before they died, glaring at the front.
