Chapter 163: The Three Women in Front
Tang Xuan was shocked to find that the Japanese army's golden shield was extremely hard, and knew that the long-range attack on the oyster array was ineffective.
She provoked Cui Qiao and said, "I won't attack your oyster array. If you have the ability, come out and fight me."
Seeing that Tang Xuan refused to be attacked, Cui Qiao said angrily: "Just hit her, I'm afraid you won't succeed!"
Cuiqiao held the shamisen and used the sword arc to kill Tang Xuan. Tang Xuan slashed the sword arc with her sword.
Cuiqiao launched cherry blossom needles to attack Tang Xuan. Tang Xuan dodged them one by one.
Cuiqiao pressed the secret door. A sharp-edged sword popped out from the top of the shamisen. She held the shamisen and rushed out of the position to fight Tang Xuan. Tang Xuan rushed out of the position holding a green tile soft-leaf knife to fight Cui Qiao.
Tang Xuan's soft sword technique is like a strong broadsword when cutting, and like a gentle soft whip when swinging. The combination of hardness and softness makes the green leaves covered by the shadow of the knife.
Cuiqiao made the shamisen as smooth as flowing water. She was able to attack and defend. She could also fiddle with the arc of the knife and launch hidden weapon attacks from time to time, which made Tang Xuan fearful.
The two of them fought, and the autumn leaves fell all over the ground. The battle was fifty moves, and there was no winner or loser.
Wang Yuejiao learned that Tang Xuan had gone down the mountain to fight, so she also went down to join the fight.
When she arrived, she saw Cui Qiao and Tang Xuan fighting. She became furious and cursed: "Spy, let's see if I don't kill you!"
She raised the Yuanyang Sword and joined the battle to help Tang Xuan. The lethality of her Yuanyang Sword skills greatly increased under Qi Ying's guidance. She had already crossed the threshold of a second-rate master.
The battle between the two surrounded Cui Qiao in the circle of the knife shadow, gradually compressing Cui Qiao's movement space.
Cuiqiao only had defensive skills but no ability to fight back, and she quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Cuiqiao couldn't resist the two men's attacks. Seeing that Wang Yuejiao's martial arts was weak, he attacked her twice and forced her to retreat.
Wang Yuejiao was forced to take two steps back, and Cui Qiao took the opportunity to jump out of the battle and flee back to her position. Tang Xuan and Wang Yuejiao did not dare to pursue them.
Tang Xuan thanked her: "Thank you, sister Yuejiao."
Wang Yuejiao said loudly: "You're welcome, Sister Tang, the spy Cuiqiao is so hateful, we should have killed her when we were in Taizhou City."
Tang Xuan laughed and said: "At that time, Mr. Huang regarded her as his bride-to-be, who would dare to kill her? Qi Ying assassinated her, and Huang Dajie turned against Qi Ying when he found out."
Wang Yuejiao said angrily: "Master Huang is really obsessed with this kind of woman."
When Cuiqiao heard two women loudly exposing her past scandals in front of the two armies, she became furious and cursed: "I'll cut your tongues out again."
Wang Yuejiao said angrily: "If you have the ability, come out and fight."
Cuiqiao ordered the troops to dismantle the oyster formation and form a round formation to launch an attack. She held the shamisen and shouted loudly: "The whole army rushes forward to kill the enemy formation."

Tang Xuan saw Cuiqiao taking the initiative to attack and knew that she was angered, so she ordered Wu Weizhong on the right to lead the three hundred wolves to fight.
The Qi army held a wolf in hand and rushed towards the Japanese army. The two armies charged and killed each other fiercely.
As expected, the wolf sword weapon is better than the Japanese sword. The wolf sword is longer than the Japanese sword and has more branches.
The Japanese knife chopped off the branches of Langzhen, one section after another. Before they could finish cutting the branches, the sharp branches pierced into their bodies.
The Japanese soldiers in the front row were stabbed by Qi Jiajun and fell down two rows. However, the Japanese soldiers could not get close to Qi Jiajun.
The Qi army stabbed a large area of Japanese soldiers, forcing the Japanese soldiers to retreat step by step.
However, the Japanese army had a strong will to fight. Although they suffered losses in weapons and were forced to retreat, their formation was still neat and orderly and showed no signs of defeat.
At this time, Tang Xuan's wolf soldiers acted as a surprise force and divided into two teams to attack the Japanese army on both sides.
Tang Xuan learned this tactic from Mrs. Wa's wife, using regular soldiers as the enemy and using surprise troops to win.
The Qi family troops who have gone into battle to face the enemy head-on are the regular soldiers. The wolf soldiers who do not face the enemy head-on but serve as reserves to flank the enemy are the surprise troops.
The strength of both sides is equal, and it is difficult to determine the outcome of a head-on confrontation.
However, under Tang Xuan's unique tactics, the Japanese army was so panicked that their formation began to lose order and became chaotic.
The Japanese army's circular formation was squeezed into a gourd shape, and half of the army was at risk of being cut off. Cuiqiao saw that the situation was not good and blew the trumpet to order the entire army to retreat.
The Japanese army retreated toward Jiaogu.
Tang Xuan, Wu Weizhong and Wang Yuejiao pursued them all the way until they found a Japanese flag in Jiao Valley, and then they stopped the pursuit and withdrew.
It turns out that the main Japanese army led by Xu Hai has arrived at Jiao Valley and has planted a war flag on Jiao Valley.
Cuiqiao was defeated in this battle and lost 300 troops. She was deeply aggrieved. Xu Hai hugged her and comforted her: "Don't be sad, dear. I will avenge you."
The wolf army returned to Tiantai Mountain, and Tang Xuan ordered the entire army to add food to celebrate their victory over the Japanese army.
Since the disappearance of Qi Ying, the Ming Dynasty army has been defeated, and it is rare to win a victory. Although it is only a small victory, it is precious and can improve the morale of the Ming Dynasty army.
Bai Xiang came to congratulate him, and Han Xiao invited him to sit down and eat together. Bai Xiang said that monks were vegetarians and could not eat together, so Han Xiao no longer forced him. Bai Xiang sat aside and watched everyone eat the celebration meal.
Bai Xiang learned from the chat that Tang Xuan was good at fighting and defeated the Japanese army. So he thought to himself that if Tang Xuan was so good at fighting, he would have to find opportunities to assassinate her.
Bai Xiang originally wanted to assassinate Wang Yuejiao, but he felt that there was a war going on on the mountain with the wolf army and he was not in a hurry to deal with her. The top priority was to assassinate Tang Xuan first.

Xu Hai led the main force of the Japanese army to camp at the foot of Tiantai Mountain. Tang Xuan found that the main force of the Japanese army had arrived and did not dare to go down the mountain to attack again.
Xu Hai is not in a hurry to attack Tiantai Mountain. He knows that Bai Xiang will stay in Tiantai Mountain and will definitely find a way to respond internally.
Han Xiao's injury was healed and he was drinking and enjoying himself. When he saw the abbot sitting aside with a smile, he suddenly thought of something.
He stood up, pulled the abbot to a corner and asked quietly: "Abbott, do you know any particularly beautiful flowers on Tiantai Mountain?"
The white elephant asked curiously: "Why are you looking for beautiful flowers?"
Han Xiaohan smiled and explained: "Isn't it, tomorrow is July 7th? I want to give a gift to..."
Bai Xiang understood and became interested, and asked: "Who do you want to give it to?"
Han Xiao's face turned red from embarrassment, and she said with a naive smile: "I won't say anything about this for now, haha, I don't even know if they have me in their hearts."
Bai Xiang thought about Tang Xuan and guessed, "Isn't the woman you are close to on Tiantai Mountain Tang Xuan? She was the one who helped you apply medicine when you were injured."
Han Xiao laughed and said frankly: "Yes, you guessed it, abbot. Just tell me where there are beautiful flowers."
Bai Xiang thought for a while and reminded: "Sending flowers to a beloved woman is not a simple matter. It's good if the gift is good. If the gift is not done well and the woman is unhappy, it will be bad."
Han Xiao asked nervously: "Then how should I send it?"
Bai Xiang suggested: "Sending only one kind of flower to a woman may not be accurate, because you don't know what kind of flower a woman likes. You should give at least three kinds at a time. One of the three types will always make a woman like it. Only women will be happy.
Only then will you be easily tempted."
Han Xiao agreed: "That makes sense, so what flowers should I send?"
Bai Xiang replied: "There are many kinds of flowers on Tiantai Mountain, and there are three kinds that are most suitable for women.
The first kind of flower is a yellow flower called poisonous convolvulus, which is very beautiful;
The second type of flower is also a yellow flower, called Rhododendron azalea, which grows very elegantly;
The third type of flower is a red flower called oleander and is very beautiful.
They are all flowers that women like. If you give these three kinds of flowers to a woman, the possibility of her falling in love will be greatly increased."
Han Xiao was overjoyed and said: "That's great, I want to give these three kinds of flowers, even if one of them makes her like it."
The white elephant was secretly happy and nodded calmly: "That's right, I will take you to pick them."
Han Xiao said happily: "Thank you abbot, you are so kind."
