Chapter Seven Strides Southwest with Swords and Sands
Chapter VII Step Following Sword of Sword of Sword
From the Heiluo headquarters to the Southwest battlefield, all the way all the way, it takes nearly 30 days, and will meet with the children from the Heelo from the various parts of the west to the battlefield on the way, focus on manpower, and rush to the battlefield together.
It wasn't until the departure that Xujiangzi knew that this operation was to respond to the invitation of the court. The Heelo Sword School sent many young disciples to join the army to join the army.
Even several members of the royal family died of the battlefield, so they put pressure on the two major saints, hoping that the Heluo Sword School, Cihang Jingtian showed their position, took the sincerity, and supported the court.
In this situation, if thousands of people are sending thousands of people to join the army, they will inevitably cause the court to doubt. They believe that the two major Shengzongsheng's hearts are incompetent, and they are unacceptable.
Possible things. Although, with the strength of the two great saints and the disciples under the door, the court should not dare to do it at the time of the two major saints and start war at the same time, but stand on the position of the two great sects, unless unless
There are already decisions, otherwise, before that, avoid unnecessary conflicts with the court.
Based on this reason, the Heluo Sword School showed quite sincerity. The disciples who organized to rush to the battlefield were nearly 20,000.
The Heilo faction who raised Qi, or practicing the sword, is a disciple of his place of life.
Xujiangzi used to know that the Heilo Sword School had great power, but it was not until this time he went down the mountain and saw in the schedule that he really realized the fact.
In order to allow all participating disciples to reach the destination as soon as possible, the Heilo departments along the way prepare the food and horse food properly.
Disciples, without required instructions, mobilize official resources to cooperate, not only provide supplies, but also gives weapons to allow thousands of Heluo disciples to rush smoothly.
When Xujiangzi and Xu Hezi passed by the headquarters, the cadres of each punishment department, even the officials of Fengjiang and the high -level army, snatched out to meet, respectfully, some even older Chujiangzi two or three, two or three, two or three, two or three, two or three, two or three.
Ten -year -old middle -aged and elderly people.
Looking at these big officials, the wealthy and wealthy are at the atmosphere of their guests. Some people simply have obvious knots. Xu Jiangzi was shocked, and it was a little fluttering, but I didn't understand why they raised themselves like this. Regarding this, deal with administrative affairs.
It is not surprising that the experience is far more rich than the brothers.
"The disciples of their own factions do not enter the rankings, and the martial arts practiced by departments in various places will also be restricted. If they do not return to Zhou Shan for study, their achievements in their lives are likely to be the only way."
Therefore, returning to Zhou Shan practicing has become a dream of every Heeluo door like a pilgrimage, but it is not so easy to go back to Zhou Shan to study.
That's right, why do you practice martial arts in the branch? All the disciples who want to go to Zhoushan to practice martial arts must apply for an application. After assessment, this can be allowed to study in Zhoushan.
If you take it for granted, there are tens of thousands of applications to assess each year.
However, the strict review is hidden in another layer of meaning, that is, someone in the dynasty is good at doing things. If someone can help on the mountains, it will be much easier to run for the review.
"What they want to fight is not just to study in Zhoushan. What martial arts can be practiced during training.
Under the premise, people from the headquarters are of course different status. "
Xuhezi said faintly, but Xujiangzi knew that it was not so simple. At least, senior officials in these places, generals, could never see every Heluo disciple from the headquarters.
Some special people have such courtesy.
Special people reasonably say that it is the heads of the various courts of the Heilo headquarters. These people have the right to work and are the most worthy characters, or some young children who are talented.
Although these young people may just become an outstanding swordsman in a few years, they are not in the administrative affairs in the martial arts, but if they are pro -disciples of the heads, the situation may be different.
The head of the Rowlo is simply a strange goods.
As long as you want to understand this, it is not difficult to understand that Xujiangzi is so special about the eyes of these people looking at Xuhezi. They and other brothers say that they have been stained with light.
"Hey, this seems to be very optimistic about you, the future futures are not limited."
Xujiangzi joked with his younger brother, but the response of Xuhezi was quite bland, and even a bit cold.
"This is nothing great, and it is not worth a fuss." Xu Hezi said: "You are also a disciple of the head of the head, maybe the goal they pay attention to is actually you, do you think so?"
"Uh," such a thing, Xu Jiangzi didn't even think about it, and his brother suddenly came up with this sentence. He didn't know if it was good to treat this as a joke.
In order to join the army this time, some changes have undergone a change in Xuhezi. Xujiangzi can clearly feel that the martial arts of Xuhezi have become stronger.
Simply to there, it makes people feel that if it is a long sword with a sheath. The hard work on the mountain in the past few months does not have no waste.
However, from the moment I saw Xuhezi again, Xujiangzi had an indescribable feeling. It seemed to have become rusty with his brother. My brother saw himself.
That kind of intimacy is something that has never happened before. Xu Jiangzi comforted himself and thought that it was not surprising that it was not seen for a few months. But in the past, it was not not a few months in the past, but this situation has not happened.
The only thing that is worthy of being fortunate is that this sense of alienation is not obvious. Xuhezi seems to notice his attitude, so he took the initiative to come to Xujiangzi to talk, drinking, although it seems a bit deliberate.
This intention is rare and valuable.
The differences in the world usually come from fighting. I never thought about what to compete with my brother. In other words, the two brothers had no reason to do it. This life would be a good brother from a long time ago.
In the future, this determination will certainly continue.
In the process of rushing, the group also encountered a small accident. In response to the court's call, it was not only the Heluo Sword School to the battlefield to participate in the battlefield. In addition to the Cihang Jing Hall, there were also many small and medium -sized martial arts.
There are no universe. These people either out of patriotism, or expectations to build their careers, and get a wealth, for this reason.
However, these martial arts people, proud and unreasonable, and often do not look at each other, so they are still on the way, they just have nothing to do with things and fight;
In the body, the intention, but some people couldn't see the eyes in differentiation, spoiled and ridiculed, and provoked. In this case, if you can say that all the way can be safe all the way, then there is a ghost.
The government's recruitment of the army was originally convened and organized in villages and villages in various townships. It was distributed to the military of various places in accordance with the military system.
The world is upside down, but the Heilo sword school, the Cihang Jingtian is strong, refuses to accept the unified deployment of the military, and organizes its own transportation system. Is there any other intention here?
In the eyes of the people, you can only explain it with arrogance.
Of course, the young disciples of the two saints cannot agree with this view, so when hearing the cold words of others and deliberately provoking, you can't bear it. In this way, the dispute is naturally much, and it has quickly risen from the tongue to the fist.
, Even moved the sword to see the blood.
Before the battlefield, these swordsmen who were preparing to join the army had launched the sword soldiers in private, saw blood, hurting their lives. This is really ridiculous. However, those involved in it will not feel funny. Actually
Only in the combat and killing, you will realize the lack of martial arts. Some people's realization accompanied by their own 'sex' fate to disappear and come to the life to study.
Very stable.
Xuhezi took the timely "color". In several consecutive games, he came forward to fight, but it was not to stop the fight between the two sides.
Disabled, but it can't get up for a while.
Among the several trials, there are many people who are injured.
There have been many discussions, praising the youngest genius swordsman of the Heluo Sword School, which is indeed famous.
Xujiangzi is very slightly words for his brother's radical approach, but when you see the brothers surrounded by Xu Hezi, it seems to be treating any heroes.
What's.
Soon after, the schedule of everyone was unexpected. When the crowd was getting closer to the battlefield, the more you could feel the unusual atmosphere.
The theft of the local people, the weird expression of the local officers and soldiers, Xu Jiangzi felt that it was not right. He was coming to the battlefield, and it was indeed a dangerous place on the battlefield, but these people looked at their own eyes.
Watching people who are dead at any time.
"We just want to go to the battlefield, we don't intend to go directly into the coffin. The look in these people's eyes makes people feel hairy."
Not many people paid much attention to Xu Jiangzi's feelings. If time could go back to a year ago, his performance would even be ridiculed as cowardly.
However, it didn't take long for these weird atmospheres to reach a level that people had to pay attention to. The closer they got to their destination, the more they came into contact with people who had retreated from the front line, especially the wounded soldiers, and extraordinary messages came from their mouths.
, it’s just that it’s so absurd and bizarre that it’s hard to believe.
"Have you heard? Those 'rebellious' parties are not simply peasant army uprisings. Their main force and fighting methods are quite puzzling!"
"I've heard about this too. I heard that some of the rebels will suddenly have their strength doubled, some can draw thunder and lightning with their hands, and some can draw fire. Wherever they wave their hands, the high-heat flames will burn everything. It sounds very cool.
Weird, right? How can a flesh and blood body do such a thing?"
"I also think this sounds like a fairy tale. How can ordinary people breathe fire and discharge electricity? That's ridiculous! This may be a trick of the enemy to 'confuse' the enemy. They deliberately make themselves appear as powerful as gods, just to brag.
It shakes the morale of our military."
"But I also heard a saying that the reason why the 'rebellion' party is so powerful and does all kinds of inhuman things is not from their own physical fitness and training, but from the use of special weapons. They call these weapons magic weapons.
.”
Many Heluo disciples, you and I, kept talking. Everyone was nervous, but they tried their best to pretend to be calm, fearing that their fellow disciples would see through their guilty conscience. After all, being timid before the battle was really nothing.
A glorious thing.
Xu Jiangzi's situation was different again. He believed 90% of these rumors early on, because no matter what, he would never forget that when Ximen Zhuyu broke into the Heluo headquarters for the second time, he took great pains and entrusted himself to be summoned on his behalf.
The "rebellious" party, known as the Taiping Military State, conveyed the key to how to fight to the Heluo Sword Sect.
Therefore, as early as that time, Xu Jiangzi had already determined that those 'rebellious' parties used something called a magic weapon to fight. Although the magic weapon in Ximen Zhuyu's hand could only blow smoke and mist, after that experience, all the weapons so far are
What I heard was not too unacceptable.
The strange thing is that he has clearly told the master about this matter, but he has not made any preparations. Xu Jiangzi has always felt puzzled about this, but with his own status, it is not his turn to speak about such an important matter, so he has to be confused.
'Keep it in mind, but if Heluo Sword Sect had dealt with this matter earlier and made all the disciples mentally prepared, there would be no need to panic now.
"I don't think there is anything scary about these rumors. The martial arts in the southwest is not strong, and there are no famous martial arts families. The rebels are said to be farmers, and their weapons are just hoes and sickles. There is nothing to be afraid of."
Xu Hezi said to everyone: "But even if the rebels really have those strange magic weapons, everyone doesn't need to be so panicked. No matter how powerful the weapons are, there are still people who are 'manipulating' the weapons. As long as you remember this, our sect will
We will definitely win the game."
After saying these words, the mood of the disciples of Heluo became much more stable. Xu Jiangzi watched from a distance and felt that his brother's words were a bit too deliberate, but at least in terms of effect, it was indeed impeccable. After listening to these words, the brothers
, nodded one after another, feeling much calmer.
"What you said is very helpful. It's all up to you to stabilize the morale of the army this time."
"Don't be kidding. If you rely on such words to stabilize the morale of the army, this army will be wiped out sooner or later. You'd better not take these words to heart, because even I don't believe it. If you believe it, you will definitely
It will be ruined."
Xu Hezi frowned and said: "If it was really just some farmers, how could the war last so long? How could the regular army of the imperial court suffer heavy casualties with just hoes and sickles? There is obviously something very wrong here, what I just mentioned
None of it is true, especially the part where people are 'manipulating' weapons, so don't listen to it."
At first, Xu Jiangzi was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, Xu Jiangzi was willing to say these words to himself, which was proof that the brotherhood was still there. The person in charge of this trip was Xu Jiangzi, and he made this judgment,
Is he saying such words to stabilize the morale of the army? He has made a judgment, so he doesn't need to say more in this regard.
"You've become a little different."
Xu Jiangzi said: "After coming out of seclusion this time, you seem to have become more like an adult."
This was just a casual remark with no special meaning, but when Xuhezi heard this, his reaction was huge, as if he was very angry, and he slapped the table.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xu Hezi walked away, leaving his brother stunned on the spot, not knowing what he said wrong.
Everyone continued on the road, listening to all kinds of rumors, and their hearts were agitated. The only thing that was certain was that the battle situation ahead was definitely not good, because among the various rumors heard, the only one was that there was no great victory for the imperial army.
News of the defeat of the rebels.
After hearing too many rumors boasting about the military strength of the rebel army, everyone was not only uneasy, but also had a question. After all, although the children of Heluo practiced martial arts and swords on weekdays, and their personal strength was good, after all, they did not go into battle to kill.
, the experience of marching and fighting, when I think about the upcoming killing on the battlefield, the attacks may come from all directions at the same time, which is completely different from the usual practice, no one can relax.
However, when people in the martial arts go to the battlefield, compared to ordinary soldiers, in addition to frontal attack and killing, they should have some other advantages. For example, although not everyone can do it, if the Heluo Sword Sect organizes experts to assassinate the enemy's general
, as long as the enemy's important leaders can be killed, wouldn't the war be a sure win without a leader?
Many people had this idea. When a certain Heluo disciple finally had the courage to ask, they got an astonishing answer.
"Assassination is impossible because that person is here!"
"That person?"
Xu Jiangzi found it very strange, because the accompanying military attache who spoke kept looking left and right when he said this sentence, as if he was on guard against something with great fear, with an unusual feeling of panic, as if what he was talking about was not someone else.
A human being, but a demon with teeth and claws.
After the accompanying military attache blurted out this sentence, he turned pale with fright. After that, no matter how Ren Xujiangzi and others asked him, he kept silent and refused to say another sentence even to death.
Xu Jiangzi was stunned and puzzled, but he wanted to say that he did not need to force others to make things difficult, so he gave up questioning and wanted to find others to inquire. However, strangely enough, Xu Jiangzi and others later questioned many people, including local people and injured people who had retreated from the front line.
Bing, as soon as the question was raised, it felt as if it had touched some extremely strong taboo. Everyone's face was as pale as dirt, and they were scrambling to avoid it.
"What's going on? Why are they afraid of being like this?"
This question casts a shadow over the hearts of the children of Heluo. If you knew what people were afraid of, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with it, but the thing that scares people the most is the unknown. This only made the children of Heluo even more panic-stricken.
Hezi couldn't even settle it.
Xu Jiangzi felt that the fear shown by those people was like awe of gods and demons. He had never had the opportunity to see ghosts and gods in his life, but among the masters he had seen in his life, no one had higher martial arts skills than his master Chichengzi.
If that person in the rebel army is a master of extraordinary martial arts, is this person even more powerful than the master?
However, speaking of masters, Xu Jiangzi remembered something and quickly asked people where Li Mubai, the chief swordsman of the Xu generation of the Heluo Sword Sect, was now?
"Junior Brother Mu Bai's personality is that he is not afraid of the sky or the earth, and he loves to cause trouble. He has been on the front line for a long time. If we can find him, he will definitely not have any scruples or anything.
Just say whatever you say."
Xu Jiangzi made such a judgment, but the results were disappointing. Even if you don't ask, you don't know that Li Mubai was indeed very active on the front line a while ago, fighting fiercely with the Taiping Army, and he was a famous hero on the official side.
, killed many brave generals of the Taiping Army. However, after a fierce battle ended more than half a month ago, Li Mubai disappeared and his whereabouts are still unknown.
"Junior Brother Mu Bai is missing? How could this happen? Did he encounter any danger during the war?"
Xu Jiangzi inquired anxiously, but could not get any specific results. Li Mubai did disappear after the war, and no one saw him return to the camp safely. To say that something happened during the war and he died on the battlefield, this kind of thing is absolutely
It is possible, but if that were the case, the Taiping Army would have made a big deal about it and would not have mentioned it at all like they do now.
"However, too many people died during the war, and it is impossible to clean the battlefield every time. Sometimes important people died, and it was only after a period of time that they were discovered and confirmed dead. To say that they were dead but not discovered,
It’s hard to say this kind of thing.”
The military attache who explained to Xu Jiangzi said this, probably because he found Xu Jiangzi's expression too ugly, so he quickly added an explanation, "Well, having said that, Daxia Li is famous for his willful actions, even though he is in the army.
, but there is no hierarchical establishment, and there are many records of going out without fake permission. Maybe it will be the same this time, but it will appear automatically after a while, so don't worry too much."
The accompanying military attache gave an explanation. Xu Jiangzi could not simply accept it and felt at ease. He just urged to leave quickly and wanted to go to the military camp as soon as possible to understand the situation. In comparison, the attitude of Xu Jiangzi and other colleagues was relatively cold.
Li Mubai’s name in Heluo Sword Sect
Although he is very angry, he is not a very popular person. There are usually many people surrounding him, but most of them are secretly jealous and jealous. Not many people have true friendship with him. Now that I heard that he may be in trouble, except for Xu Jiangzi
Apart from that, no one is really worried about this.
However, everyone's journey was not peaceful. There was only half a day left to reach the destination, and the long journey was about to end, but at this juncture, they were attacked by the enemy.
Logically speaking, they have all arrived at the front line and should be more vigilant to prevent unexpected events. However, this place is still some distance away from areas with frequent fighting. This group of Heluo disciples has a large number. Therefore, the military attache leading the way was negligent and thought that it was not possible to
He was about to encounter an enemy attack, but when he was passing through a valley, there was a sudden loud rumble on the mountains on both sides, and dense artillery thundered down.
"What, what"
Several military attachés who were leading the way were killed first, which was regarded as an honorable death in the line of duty. However, the disciples of Heluo who lost their guidance were in chaos. Although their martial arts were not weak, they had no experience on the battlefield. They suddenly encountered this kind of situation.
Different from ordinary fighting competition
In the battle scene, most of the people were so panicked that they couldn't even react. They knew they were in danger, but they stood still in the shock of the cannon fire. As a result, they were blown to pieces and didn't even have a chance to throw a sword.
, died miserably on the battlefield.
After the rumble of the cannon, there was a loud killing sound. The enemy troops used the artillery bombardment to gain the upper hand. After achieving considerable results, they pulled out their weapons and charged down from the not-so-steep hillside to capture the shocked Heluo disciples below.
These young Heluo swordsmen were battered by artillery fire and were in an extremely embarrassed state. They had suffered many casualties, and some of their bloody corpses were miserably scattered on the ground. There were not many dead people, but the scene was full of blood and flesh.
, for those lucky enough to still have their lives and sanity.
For those who survived, it was a very shocking scene. Many people saw their senior brothers who were chatting and laughing with them a few minutes ago turned into broken corpses in the blink of an eye, and screamed in fear.
, seeing the enemy coming, he drew his sword in a daze, but his move was weak.
For this small unit of the Taiping Army, today is really a very lucky day, because it is not easy to encounter such good prey. They are like tigers with their huge mouths, biting the prey in front of them mercilessly.
Flesh and blood tore the human body into pieces.
The famous disciples of the Heluo Sword Sect should not be weak in martial arts. When the two armies fought in the past, the Heluo swordsmanship also posed a considerable threat to the Taiping Army, but this group of Heluo disciples is completely different. Their swordsmanship
He was weak and weak, and his reaction during battle was also poor. He almost lost his life by committing suicide.
The Taiping Army quickly judged that this group of people were new recruits who had just arrived at the front line. No matter how much future growth they had in the future, now was their weakest moment. Realizing this, the Taiping Army fought with the lion's strength.
Rabbit's mentality is to attack with all his strength, wanting to wipe out all these Heluo descendants.
Among this group of more than 200 Heluo disciples, less than 40% were able to react quickly and use their strength to fight. Most of them had not recovered from the shock of the shelling when they first entered the battlefield. The so-called
The battle was basically a one-sided massacre. However, not everyone was like this. Among the more than two hundred people, there were still some people who adapted to the situation instantly and drew their swords to fight back.
Xu Jiangzi is one of these people. In terms of combat response, Xu Jiangzi is not outstanding at first, but with Ximen Zhuyu’s warning first, he has always been very wary of the Taiping Army. When he heard people describe the various magic weapons of the Taiping Army,
No matter how powerful he is, he is far more serious than his peers. He is always thinking about how to resist and respond afterwards.
In the eyes of others, this attitude is almost unfounded and even arousing ridicule, but in Xu Jiangzi's view, since he has already arrived on the battlefield, danger may occur at any time, and it is always right to be more vigilant, not to mention even Ximen Zhuyu's kind
Experts all think that the Taiping Army is powerful, and of course a little guy like me should pay more attention to it.
The result of this attitude was that the moment the gunfire sounded, Xu Jiangzi had already reacted, "It can't be anything else so loud, it must be an enemy attack!"
After judging that it was a shelling, Xu Jiangzi not only dodged quickly, but also had two same gates next to Yu Yu. He had to keep peace in the first wave of shells, and pulled his sword out of the sheath to prepare to welcome the enemy.
"The number of enemies should not be large. This attack is considered a pediatric department. If the large troops are planned to ambush us in advance, the poisoning 'medicine' should be hidden in the artillery.
I guess it is just a small troops. Because I discovered our whereabouts, I came here to set up ambush. After the shelling, there will be a white -edged battle. This is also our opportunity. "
In this kind of situation, I have thought about hundreds of times on the road. Although the incident has happened without warning, it is just that some of the expected situations have happened. Xu Jiangzi said these words in one breath.
I found out that the same door around, stunned at myself, the expression seemed to see any big monster.
