Chapter 56: Thousands of troops ahead(1/3)
Chapter 56 Thousands of troops are ahead
On the vast official road, there were a group of cavalry standing at this moment, with hundreds of cavalry, each holding a powerful crossbow in his hand, which just surrounded a group of men in the center.
The group of people surrounded was the dress-up scout who met Wang Fuqiang and others a few days ago. However, compared with the previous few days, the number of people was mostly less than that of the previous few days, and most of them were injured. Obviously, they encountered many encounters with the enemy in the past few days.
At this moment, the man with a national face had a strip of white cloth wrapped around his right arm. The blood had soaked the white cloth, but he was still holding the sword tightly in his hand.
During the continuous battle, the edges of the swords in these people's hands had obvious curling blades.
I saw a cavalry coming out, looking at the man with a national face, and said in a deep voice: "The surrender will not be killed!"
The man with a national face sneered and said, "For seven years, have you heard of a person in my White Lion Kingdom surrender? If you want to fight, you can fight, so why bother with your lips and tongue?"
The men behind him immediately took a step forward, put the sword across his chest, protecting the man with a national face, and said, "General, you have the highest strength. We protect you from breaking through. No matter what, you must send the information."
The man with a national face smiled and said, "Don't show off. You are fast, and it is most appropriate for you to convey information. You said, I am the strongest and I can't stop them, so it is impossible for you to stay. If I stay, there may be a glimmer of hope. If I leave, no one will be able to leave."
The man frowned and said, "But..."
The man with a national face smiled and said, "It's just decided. I'll run separately later. I will try my best to hold them back. As for who can run out, everyone depends on their ability. As long as the information is sent back, our mission will not fail."
Speaking of this, everyone stopped insisting.
The cavalry general smiled and said, "No one of you can leave. Since you don't want to live, then you will all die."
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it gently, countless powerful crossbows shot out suddenly, shooting towards the group of people in the middle like raindrops.
The man with a national face shook the sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Go!"
After saying that, his body rushed directly towards the cavalry general, and at the same time he kept pulling out the arrows, and his whole body was like a ferocious beast.
The people who followed him did not hesitate at all, and at the same time waved the sword in their hands, constantly knocked out the arrows that were shot, and then rushed towards all directions.
It’s a pity that there were too many arrows, so they could not block them all. In just a moment, someone was nailed into his body by arrows, but they ignored the piercing pain and continued to run forward.
In this case, any loss of mind will bring fatal danger, so countless companions have fallen into the rain of arrows and are still falling down.
The man with a national face focused on the cavalry general and didn't care about the arrows on his body. As he kept getting closer, the arrows were much less. After all, continuing to shoot arrows would probably cause accidental injury to his companion.
Several cavalrymen quickly stepped forward, hung the crossbow in their hands on the horse's back, then pulled out the spear on the horse's back, rushed forward, and stabbed the spear in their hands directly at the man with a national face.
The man with a national face had to stop and swept the sword in his hand, bounced away the spears, and quickly retreated backwards with the rebound force.
Unexpectedly, as he had just opened up, countless arrows shot out again. At the same time, more than ten riders rushed out of the team, holding a spear in both hands, holding a spear in front of them, and rushing forward, directly towards the man with a national face.
The man with a national face had no power to fight back and could only retreat again and again. His strength was indeed not bad, but this cavalry was not an ordinary person. He was obviously the elite of the Xueyun Kingdom. He had a strong combat power and tacit cooperation. Moreover, the cavalry had an advantage against the infantry, not to mention that the number of the opponent was ten times that of them.
A group of ten riders took turns to charge. After several rounds, the man with a national face had retreated to his original place, and then the arrow shot in again.
The situation of the others was similar to that of him, and these people were not as strong as him. Almost instantly, they were all killed by this cavalry on the spot. Even the remaining few survivors were still injured and basically lost their combat effectiveness.
Seeing this scene, the man with a national face sighed. It seemed that it was completely impossible to send the information out. When they entered the country of Xueyun, they were ready to sacrifice their lives for the country. They were not afraid of death. What they were afraid of was that they could not contribute to the country before they died.
Just as he sighed, his robes were almost slaughtered in an instant, and these soldiers no longer took action, but surrounded the man with a national face, and it was inconvenient.
The cavalry general drove forward again and said in a deep voice: "Give you another last chance, will you surrender?"
The man with a national face also said in a deep voice: "If you want to kill or cut, just do it. If I Xie Zian frowned, I will not be the son of the White Lion Kingdom."
The cavalry general sighed and said, "Hey a man! It's a pity that you are not lucky, so you chose to enter the Snow Cloud Kingdom at this time. You might as well tell you that our team received an order to intercept and kill a few monks from the Yunling Sect here, so ordinary troops like you have no power to fight back in front of us."
The man with a national face finally understood. No wonder the combat power of this army was so strong. It turned out to be the elite selected for monks.
He couldn't help but remember that the group of monks he met a few days ago seemed to be from Yunling Sect.
In other words, their encounter with this army was a coincidence.
The cavalry general raised his hand and waved it lightly.
Countless powerful crossbows shot out instantly, but the man was not afraid at all. He raised his head and laughed, but his smile seemed a little desolate and a little unwilling to accept it. If he had changed to another team, they would not have been so miserable, at least they would not have been wiped out, so that they could not even send out the information.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, a ray of light suddenly fell from the sky, covering the man, and then a wave of air spread to all sides.
After encountering these air waves, those arrows instantly turned into powder.
The air waves continued to spread, the war horses neighed, and kept retreating.
Above the sky, a man stepped on a flying sword, landed slowly, and then hovered over the team.
Everyone stared at him and frowned.
He turned out to be a monk!
The cavalry general frowned and asked, "Dare you ask what the immortal is meant?"
The man standing on the flying sword smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that so many of you bully one person and can't stand it."
Everyone frowned deeper, while weighing the pros and cons.
It is true that they came to deal with the monks of the Yunling Sect, but they have never fought with real monks after all. They still have some fear of these monks who are flying around in the sky with flying swords.
The cavalry general continued, "This person is a spy from the White Lion Kingdom. We are ordered by the general to chase and kill him. I hope the immortal will not interfere."
The man smiled and said, "Come on, I'm from the White Lion Kingdom too."
The cavalry general frowned even deeper.
Is this person the general called the Yunling Sect cultivator?
Judging from the other party's posture, it seems that his cultivation is not low. If they really fight, although there are many people, they may not necessarily get benefits. Moreover, according to the information, there are as many as eight cultivators coming to the Yunling Sect this time. In other words, if this person is really a Yunling Sect cultivator, there will be at least seven equally powerful people behind him.
Then they may be in danger of being completely destroyed.
They have never fought with real monks, but they have fought with many people in the world. Although they have never been defeated, they are indeed very embarrassed by those people in the world. Now they face the real monks, naturally, they can't help but feel guilty.
Those are all immortals who can fly with swords. They are immortals who master supreme magical powers and kill invisible things. How can these mortal bodies withstand the bombardment of the other party's fairy sword?
The cavalry general asked, "I wonder what the immortal plans to do?"
The man standing on the flying sword smiled and said, "It's not what I want, it's what you want."
Everyone was stunned.
The man standing on the flying sword continued, "If you let him go, I will let you go, how about it?"
The cavalry general thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Impossible. Even if we all die in battle, we must not let this person return to the White Lion Kingdom."
The man on the flying sword nodded and sighed, "That's nothing to talk about."
After saying that, his body fell down and happened to be standing in front of the man with a national face, holding a sword in his hand, and a sword remained in front of him.
The cavalry general said heavily: "Design the formation! In any case, this imperial scout must not be allowed to leave!"
"yes!"
Everyone responded, as if thunder was shaking the ground, and then everyone formed a formation.
The horse's hooves were scattered and the dust was flying.
The cavalry general asked again: "Dare you ask the name of the immortal?
The man with a flying sword hovered in front of him smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot to report myself. I am in the lower house, and I am a wandering cultivator who wanders around the world."
The cavalry general frowned again, nodded, and said something to the deputy general beside him. The deputy general hesitated for a moment, then dropped his horse and ran away.
Since you are not a cultivator of the Yunling Sect, you should be much easier to deal with, at least it can be said that the other party is just one person.
But he did not relax much because of this. Although the other party was just one, it brought him a heavy sense of oppression. It was a feeling that he had been in the army for so many years and had never experienced thousands of battles of all sizes and sizes.
"kill!"
All the cavalry spoke at the same time, and then rushed towards the two of them with their spears.
Gu Du Xunuo let out a breath, raised his hand, and the long sword in his hand suddenly shone brightly, and then the flying sword in front of him also flew around his body and quickly rotated around his body.
Instead of taking the initiative to attack, he let the cavalry rush in.
The next moment, he handed out a sword, and the sword energy entered the tide and pulled it apart, then rushed forward. Both the man and the horse were blocked in an instant, and then all fell down!
The sword energy continued to spread forward, instantly piercing the entire cavalry.
With one person and one sword, one can easily break through the formation of more than 200 elite cavalrymen. The powerful immortal cultivator is so terrifying!
The cavalry general exhaled and had a deep understanding of these monks on the mountain for the first time.
It is said that Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and heroes use martial arts to disrupt the ban, so Xue Yunguo has always had a ban on military orders. However, the so-called ban on military orders in the court can only target people in the martial arts world, and has no effect on the immortals on the mountain, especially large sects like Tai Chi Sect that have been going on for thousands of years.
Fortunately, these immortal gates on the mountain never participate in secular affairs, so they actually have no contact with the monks on the mountain, and it is difficult to see them normally, let alone fight face to face like now.
The reason why they received an order to intercept and kill the monks of the Yunling Sect was because the royal family of Xueyun Kingdom had something to do with the Baijian Sect not far from the north. This time, Baijian Sect asked the Emperor to ask the court to stop him.
The Emperor sent this order to their general.
This order also scared the general, but the military order was like a mountain. There was no way. The general could only select some soldiers from them who had dealt with the masters of the world, and temporarily formed a cavalry, with a total of only 600 people, divided into three teams. They were the first team. But they didn't expect that before they met Yunling Sect, they met a spy from the Baishi Kingdom, and then they chased him here.
Originally, they thought of picking up a great skill halfway, but they didn't expect that such a powerful monk suddenly appeared. With just one sword, they had no power to fight back.
The gap is obvious and cannot be made up by quantity at all.
But now they have no way out, because as he said before, the scout from the White Lion Kingdom must not leave alive.
Even if they did not stop the members of the Yunling Sect, they would be punished by the general at most. However, if this Yunling Sect spy left, it would have a great impact on the military mobilization of the entire Xueyun Kingdom, and the general could only re-plan.
To be continued...
