Volume 7: Ma Mingfeng is Xiaoxiao, the Boy Raises His Sword
Mountain road.
High mountains and steep cliffs.
A large army was marching slowly. Most of them were cavalry, and they all carried flags with red on a black background.
It was the army and horses moving from Linting to Jiuzhang.
Walking in the front was the leader of the Biao Army—Guo Shao.
Guo Shao was Xu Baiming's subordinate.
The last time Su Ling made a surprise attack on Linting, Guo Shao followed the army.
After Su Ling and Guan Yunchong returned, Guo Shao stayed behind to guard Linting.
Guo Shao was not very young, about thirty years old, but he had the air of a Confucian general.
Although he is Xu Baiming's general, his talents are fully capable of leading an army to fight alone.
This person has strategy and kung fu, and has the level of martial arts at the beginning of the seventh level.
At this time, Guo Shao's eyes were deep and his brows were slightly furrowed. As he moved forward, he continued to increase the speed of his march.
He understood that the terrain here was dangerous, with towering cliffs on both sides and a small trail in the middle.
If there is an ambush here, and the advantage of the terrain makes a sudden attack from a high position, you and the thousands of soldiers and horses behind you will definitely be in danger.
He urged the sergeants to speed up their march one after another, but they had no choice because the road was too narrow and most of the sergeants were cavalry.
The cavalry is good at charging in plain areas, destroying everything it passes.
However, the mountainous terrain, especially such narrow trails, greatly restricted the mobility of the cavalry.
All the sergeants also wanted to speed up, but unfortunately conditions did not allow it.
Guo Shao walked for a while and looked up at the terrain in front of him.
There are towering cliffs on both sides, with a trail sandwiched between them. In the gap in the middle of the two mountains, the sky is like a long line stretching between the cliffs.
This terrain is really suitable for sneak attacks and ambushes.
"Map!" Guo Shao roared. A soldier had already brought the map over. Guo Shao unfolded the map and took a closer look.
But I saw on the map that this place was called Yixian Cliff. The terrain between the two mountains was continuous and winding, and it was actually ten miles in radius.
Guo Shao secretly calculated that they had been in this narrow road for some time, and they estimated that they had walked three or four miles, and there were still more than half of such dangerous roads ahead.
He still had to pass here quickly. After here, there will be a smooth road. When the sky is high, birds can fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to jump. Even if there is an ambush and interception, he will not be afraid anymore!
Thinking of this, Guo Shao threw the map to the soldiers next to him and issued an order loudly: "Brothers in the army, speed up and rush through this line of cliff with gritted teeth. We will be safe!"
"Here -!" All the soldiers responded to the order at the same time and consciously sped up.
"Whoosh!" At this moment, a loud arrow pierced the tranquility of the valley, passed through the air, fell from the sky, and shot toward Guo Shao.
Guo Shao had already made preparations for a sneak attack. Hearing the sound of the golden wind in front of him, he roared and quickly put the spear in his hand in front of him.
As soon as he made this move, the arrow had already rushed towards him, and with a "dang-" sound, it was nailed to the shaft of his spear.
"Whoosh - whoosh - whoosh -" countless screams could be heard endlessly.
But on the cliff, thousands of arrows were fired, like a torrential rain, shooting towards Guo Shao's army in the valley.
"Ah-ah!"
Amidst countless screams, dozens of soldiers fell to the ground after being struck by arrows.
The entire formation fell into chaos in an instant.
Guo Shao called Diao Ling desperately while shouting: "Don't mess up! The enemy is attacking - shield formation!"
These soldiers were usually well-trained, and when they saw that the general did not panic at all, they immediately gathered up their formation and secured their positions.
"Shield array!—Drink!"
A roar echoed through the valley.
There were hundreds of shield soldiers raising their shields to the sky at the same time, trying desperately to block the rain of arrows.
Guo Shao and several soldiers took the lead in hiding behind the shield formation. Then the entire team immediately shrank into formation, and most of the army was enveloped by the shield formation.
"Bang bang bang—" Countless feather arrows hit the shield array, making a terrifying sound.
However, there were still many cavalrymen who had no time to hide in the shield formation and were shot by arrows. One by one, they turned over and fell off their horses.
The rain of arrows is like a waterfall, and it seems that it will never stop.
Guo Shao was frightened in the shield formation and thought to himself that the firepower of this ambush was too fierce. The arrows were raining down as if they were free. His troops did not dare to show their heads at all and could only huddle in the shield formation.
among.
Being unable to fight back is the most helpless thing.
If the enemy still has rolling logs and rocks, they may roll down the cliff in an instant, and the shield formation will be useless.
Then I am afraid that all the thousands of troops and horses of my own will be buried on the cliff.
The rain of arrows continued for a while and finally stopped.
Guo Shao poked his head out from the shield formation and saw many arrow clusters stuck between the rocks on the ground around his army.
Why didn't the enemy keep firing arrows? If they kept firing arrows, or used rolling logs and stones, how could they and their army survive?
But the strange thing is that the rain of arrows stopped and the rolling logs and stones did not appear.
Between the lightning and flint, Guo Shao had already judged that the enemy who ambushed and intercepted them was definitely a light force. In order to reach their only way ahead of time, the arrow clusters he brought were limited, and those rolling logs and stones were even more heavy.
It was pretending, so I never brought it.
Guo Shao knew that this must be the case, so he roared: "The shield troops retreat, the infantry moves forward, and the cavalry presses the formation, prepare to meet the enemy!"
“Here—!”
The sergeants had been simmering with anger for a long time. They were shot by a burst of arrows and did not dare to fight back. They were too frustrated. Finally, they withstood the rain of arrows. The general issued an order to prepare for battle. They were all shocked and roared again and again.
"Boom-boom-boom"
Three cannon shots shook the valley.
Guo Shao looked intently and saw an army rushing out from right in front of the road, numbering about five to six thousand people, blocking the way.
Guo Shao's army originally numbered 5,000, but a hail of arrows killed 700 to 800 of them, and some were injured, so their combat effectiveness was reduced.
But seeing the soldiers and horses suddenly blocking the way, they rushed forward like a whirlwind and set up their formation.
The first general, with four hooves on the sail, rushed to the front of the formation first, waved a pair of large black gold maces in his hands, and shouted: "Don't leave, I've been waiting for you for a long time, this road is blocked!"
Guo Shaoping calmed down, urged his horse to the front of the formation, reined in his horse and took a closer look.
But when I saw the enemy general, he was about one foot tall, tall and strong, and he was wearing heavy armor. However, he was not wearing a helmet. He had a big bald head and no eyebrows. He looked like a hairless monster.
Guo Shao glanced at it for a few times and shouted coldly: "Come on, the general will be named!"
"Don't you even recognize me? I am Wen Liang, and so is your Grandpa Wen!" The enemy general Wen Liang's voice was like thunder, making the entire valley reverberate.
Guo Shao took a breath of air. He had heard of the names of the Four Heroic Generals of Bohai. This Wenliang was not in Shicang City of Bohai, but he actually appeared here and blocked the way.
Guo Shao knew that he was no match for Wen Liang, but he already understood that if he was timid now, then the four thousand or so warriors behind him would also panic.
He tried his best to look calm, nodded lightly, and said with a sneer: "It turns out to be Wen Liang. If you block my way, you will die!"
Wen Liang said angrily: "Junior! Today you, Grandpa Wen, are going to avenge my brother Yan Chou. I will kill you first, and then kill Xiao Yuanche!"
Hearing this, Guo Shao sneered and said with some understanding: "Oh...it turns out that the headless prince in Lating is your brother. Wenliang, I advise you to get out of the way quickly, otherwise I will let you go Go underground and meet your damn big brother!"
"Bah! The nameless young man dares to be so arrogant! Take my mace!" As he said that, Wen Liang clamped his horse's belly under his crotch and rushed straight towards Guo Shao like lightning. Halfway through, he raised his black gold mace to signal his descent. Guo Shao was hit on the head.
Guo Shao understood that this man was the first fierce general in Shen Jizhou's tent, and that he would definitely be defeated in terms of strength, so he did not dare to take the big mace that hit him. He flicked the horse's head, dodged from the side, and roared. Said: "If you kill a good man, you will be rewarded with thousands of households! Brothers, come to me!"
"Kill--!"
The infantry and cavalry behind Guo Shao moved at the same time and rushed towards Wen Liang.
Wen Liang felt bored when he saw that Guo Shao did not fight with him head-on.
Seeing a wave of infantry and cavalry rushing towards the formation, he also shouted: "My sons, let me wipe them all out! Charge -"
After that, he took the horse's wheel mace and charged into the formation first. The big mace danced like flying, and it had killed several infantrymen with bang bang bang.
Behind Wen Liang, five or six thousand men and horses also shouted at the same time and rushed forward.
The troops and horses on both sides were like two roaring torrents, colliding into one place in an instant.
Suddenly, in the valley, shouts of killing shook the sky, and the troops and horses of both sides were fighting hand-to-hand, refusing to give in to each other. The encounter started immediately.
All over the mountains and plains, there were soldiers fighting. The sounds of clashing weapons, screams, and horses' neighing were like waves. The fighting was intense from the beginning.
Guo Shao fired a large gun and stabbed several enemy soldiers to death in an instant. Just as he was about to turn over and rush into the battlefield, Wen Liang had already arrived on horseback and shouted: "How many times will your grandpa accompany you!"
Seeing that he could not dodge, Guo Shao had no choice but to shoot Wen Liang straight in the face without saying a word.
The two generals and their horses crossed each other and fought in one place.
However, Guo Shao's army and horses traveled a long distance to get here, and they had just resisted the rain of arrows, so their combat power was no longer as good as Wen Liang's.
Wen Liang led an elite army. Under the fierce attack, Guo Shao's army was in chaos and could not withstand it at all.
Not only the soldiers, but also Guo Shao himself had only fought with Wen Liang for more than ten rounds, and he could only parry and had no power to fight back.
By this time, he was out of breath and sweating all over his body.
On the other hand, Wen Liang became more and more courageous as he fought, as if he was tireless, shouting and screaming like a monster. Guo Shao's heart sank to the bottom of the sea, and he secretly thought, if he continues to fight like this, he and his soldiers will be buried here in a short time. .
Wen Liang also saw that the situation on the battlefield was firmly under his control, so he cheered up and danced with his mace, wishing he could kill Guo Shao with it.
Guo Shao had no choice but to grit his teeth and try his best to hold on.
"Boom - boom - boom -"
At this moment, suddenly the sound of cannons was heard at the entrance of the valley, and an army rushed straight towards them like a wave rolling across the sky.
Guo Shao looked out of the corner of his eye and saw flags fluttering. They were all black flags with red trim.
Guo Shao naturally recognized that this was his own flag.
This is it! Reinforcements have arrived!
Guo Shao was suddenly shocked and shouted: "Brothers, hold on, the Prime Minister's reinforcements are coming to save us!"
The soldiers under Guo Shao had no regard for life and death. The situation in front of them was definitely life or death, so they all worked hard, killing one to make up for their losses, and killing two to earn one.
Suddenly seeing the reinforcements flags and banners, tears filled their eyes. They saw the hope of survival. In an instant, they yelled and cursed, raised their swords and guns, and their horses were as fierce as the wind, regaining their momentum.
But I saw the reinforcements in the middle of the valley, with two general flags spread out in the wind. The left flag had the word Zhang written on it, and the right flag had the word Guan written on it.
The two generals under his banner, one with black armor and black helmet and black horse, holding a long sword, is none other than Zhang Shiyou; the other with green armor and green robes, stepped off the horse and was bathed in fire, like a beating flame. In the hand of the long sword of the dragon, with murderous intent, it is Zhang Shiyou.
Guan Yunchong.
But seeing the support troops arrive instantly, the situation on the field was immediately reversed.
Wenliang's army and horses suddenly fell into a situation of being flanked.
Zhang Shiyou and Guan Yunchong, one on the left and one on the right, pointed their swords at each other. As if they were in an uninhabited area, they rushed to Guo Shao in the blink of an eye.
As he said that, he slapped his horse, danced his sword, and turned his sword horizontally towards Wen Liang.
Wen Liang was frightened and angry. He gritted his teeth and held the mace of his left hand horizontally to hold the long knife that Zhang Shiyou was attacking.
Just as he was about to attack with the big mace in his right hand, he heard the wind of the sword on the left, and the faint roar of a dragon. It was Guan Yunchong's long sword that raised and lowered, and slashed over with the sound of wind.
He had no choice but to roar and move his right mace horizontally, sandwiching it on top of the broadsword coming from the left.
"Qiang Qiang——" twice.
Wen Liang actually bore the two swords forcefully.
Guan Yunchong and Zhang Shiyou were also surprised, and secretly praised Wen Liang for being such a brave general!
Wen Liang roared repeatedly, without the slightest hint of cowardice, he held Zhang Shiyou and Guan Yunchong's weapons, and said angrily: "Two of them beat me one, and you, Grandpa Wen, are not afraid! Come on! Have a good fight!"
Zhang Shiyou and Guan Yunchong did not answer, they both withdrew their swords and attacked again.
Three war horses and three generals are fighting in one place. You come and I go, like a revolving lantern, killing the generals.
Wen Liang is really brave. Zhang Shiyou and Guan Yunchong are already top-notch fighters, but they still can't defeat him for a while.
He blocked left and right, his mace danced in an airtight manner. Although he was at a disadvantage, it was a bit difficult to decide the winner for a while.
Zhang Shiyou admired Wen Liang as a brave general, and said in a deep voice while fighting: "Wen Liang, you can't escape today no matter what, you might as well dismount and surrender early!"
Wen Liang's eyes widened and he cursed endlessly: "Zhang Shiyou, Guan Yunchong, your grandfather Wen will not surrender even if he dies in battle!"
Zhang Shiyou and Guan Yunchong looked at each other, tightened their swords in their hands, and then became ruthless.
As time passed, and Zhang Shiyou and Guan Yunchong did not hold back, Wenliang's defeat became apparent.
Seeing that Wen Liang was about to be defeated, Guo Shao urged his horse forward and said: "We will fight him three times to see how long he can last!"
After saying this, he waved his hand with a spear and stabbed Wen Liang.
It turned out that it was only a matter of time before Wen Liang was defeated, but now Guo Shao, a quasi-first-class general, came, and he was even more unable to resist.
While rushing left and right, one of them was not careful and was struck in the left shoulder by Guan Yunchong, causing a sudden flow of blood.
Wen Liang endured the pain and was wounded, but he suddenly roared and rushed towards Guo Shao with his mace, smashing Guo Shao's spear away with his mace.
When Guo Shao was driving his horse, Wen Liang glanced at an opening and urged his horse. The horse neighed and carried Wen Liang straight away towards the depths of the valley.
When the soldiers on the side saw this, they immediately gathered around him.
How could they stop Wen Liang?
Relying on the rapidity of his horse and his mace, Wen Liang used his mace one by one, killing more than a dozen of his pursuers in an instant and cutting a bloody path.
There was no obstacle in front of him. The horse neighed, crossed the sail with all four hooves, carried Wen Liang on its back, rushed out of the battlefield, and disappeared deep into the valley in the blink of an eye.
Guan Yunchong was just about to urge his horse to chase him, but Zhang Shiyou stopped him and said, "Brother Guan, don't chase me. Wen Liang has already fled into the valley and is already a dead man!"
Guan Yunchong then restrained Huo Yun Liushuang and looked deeply at the direction in which Wen Liang was escaping.
There, the valley is filled with mist and mist. This chapter has been completed!
