I think of the youth in black clothes, with orchid hair, and swords flying across the clouds. I sit and watch the arrogant soldiers crossing the south, and the boiling waves are terrifying and the whales rush. I look forward to the water flowing eastward and see the success.
——Excerpt from "Eight Sounds Ganzhou·Shouyang Tower Bagongshan Composition" by Ye Mengde (Song Dynasty)
…
According to the pre-war deployment, Eagle Eye, Xiucai and Luo Tuoer stayed at Eagle Fort.
Four scouts, Iron Hammer, Lynx, Lone Wolf and Bai Fu, formed a team and walked out of Savage Valley to conduct reconnaissance.
After leaving the entrance of Savage Valley and walking through the hilly area for three or four miles, the endless plains unfolded before everyone's eyes.
The four people put on military uniforms, disguised themselves as Yan Army soldiers, and lurked in the bushes on a hillside. The official road under the hillside was the only way for the Yan Army to go south.
At this time, the moon was rising, the official roads were busy with traffic, and the Yan army's baggage team was transporting supplies day and night.
The four of them walked another five or six miles in the darkness along the dividing line between the official road and the hillside, and arrived at the camp where siege equipment was stored.
The lynx jumped down the hillside with its waist up and went to investigate first.
In less than a moment of burning the incense, several pieces of rubbish flew from the air and landed around the bushes. This was a signal to inform everyone that the front was safe and they could set off.
The camp is to the east of the official road. A branch off the official road leads to the gate of the camp. The gate of the camp is brightly lit and heavily guarded.
Except for this branch road that leads directly to the village gate, the camp is surrounded by a trench two feet deep and three feet wide, like a moat.
The lone wolf jumped over, turned around and threw out a rope.
Bai Fu took the rope, wrapped it twice around his wrist, and pulled hard.
Lynx and Iron Hammer each took out an iron ring, climbed on the rope, and slid across.
As soon as the hammer's toe touched the ground, he suddenly heard the lone wolf whisper: "There are dead bodies here, be careful!"
"dead body?"
The hammer loosened the rope and landed safely.
Less than three feet away from the hammer, there lay a headless corpse with hands tied upside down and blood spurting out from its cavity.
"Hai Ban, there are a few more ahead."
Looking in the direction of Lynx's finger, within a hundred meters, there were several headless corpses lying flat.
Judging from the lack of solidified blood, the Yan army had not been killing people for a long time.
Lone Wolf's eyes darkened and he said: "The rebels did this just to scare those who crossed the trench."
Seeing that both Iron Hammer and Lynx landed safely, Bai Fu waved goodbye.
From here on, Bai Fu will act alone.
As soon as Bai Fu walked away, the hunting dogs in the camp seemed to hear the movement and howled. Several sharp arrows were fired from the watchtower to test whether there was anyone lurking in the surrounding darkness.
Before the arrows fell, the three Iron Hammers had already fled away, and all the arrows they shot were nailed to the ground.
…
The two camps where siege equipment and supplies of food and supplies were stored were relatively close to each other. In less than a stick of incense, Bai Fu broke into the camp where supplies of supplies and supplies were stored.
Bai Fushen was like a civet cat, and as fast as the wind, he sneaked into the granary through the vent on the beam.
The grain and grass in the granary are piled up like mountains, and sacks are stacked neatly together.
Bai Fu stabbed five or six sacks with his dagger, and white corn spilled out from the holes.
Confirm that it is grain and grass.
The siege of Suiyang made Bai Fu taste the taste of hunger for the first time in his life. Seeing that he was about to burn all the food and grass with a fire, Bai Fu still couldn't bear it.
After a moment of meditation, Bai Fu took a long breath and made up his mind to take action.
He poured the kerosene he carried with him on the grain pile, and then stuffed pineapple, dried wormwood and other flammable materials into the gaps in the sacks...
Following the same pattern, Bai Fu quickly finished arranging the granary. He tiptoed and was about to fly up the beam and go to the next granary.
Bai Fu only felt that his feet were empty, a pedal opened, and a trap about ten feet wide appeared on the ground.
"There is a mechanism!"
Bai Fu flipped over, stopped his fall, and landed firmly on the edge of the trap.
"Whoosh"
A large net fell from the beams of the house, covering Bai Fu inside the net.
Bai Fu's body swept forward and flew sideways, like a swift flying through the water. When the big net fell, he jumped out from the bottom of the net to avoid the enemy.
"Bang"
The door of the granary was opened, and dozens of armored soldiers burst into the granary holding torches.
The Yan army's crossbowmen were divided into three layers, inside and outside, and the crossbow arrows were fired at Bai Fu.
Bai Fu grabbed a grain bag and held it in front of him. When he retreated, he picked up the grain bag beside him with his left toe and kicked it out with his right foot.
The grain bags filled with Xunkan's aura were like huge boulders, smashing three rows of crossbowmen to pieces and collapsing to the ground.
Bai Fu took the fire and threw it on the sack.
"boom"
A raging fire broke out in the granary.
Bai Fu stirred his legs, clasped his hands together, and the tornado spun, soaring into the sky, like a huge boulder thrown by a sling, and hit the ceiling of the granary.
"Bang" the roof tiles of the granary were scattered, a big hole was opened, and Bai Fu broke through the wall.
The shouts of killing were everywhere, and countless figures were killing in the direction of Bai Fu.
Bai Fu drew out his black iron sword and slashed the oncoming enemy general off the eaves with one strike. Without waiting for the enemy to surround him, he climbed up to another roof ridge.
Bai Fu jumped up and down like a ghost, using the eaves as cover to avoid incoming arrows.
Towers, pavilions, rockeries and ponds have become places for Bai Fu to dodge. Bai Fu takes advantage of the terrain and tries his best to fight only three or two enemies every time they meet to avoid being surrounded by them. Once he sees that the situation is not going well, he immediately changes the venue.
Bai Fu deliberately delayed the fighting and attracted hundreds of rebel soldiers, but on the Iron Hammer side, there was no siege equipment and the camp was on fire!
Bai Fu was very worried, worried that something might happen to Iron Hammer and the others. Judging from the layout of the agencies at the granary, the siege equipment camp was also full of dangers.
More and more enemies are coming up, and the time between Bai Fu's recovery and ventilation is getting shorter and shorter. There are already more than a dozen wounds on his body, and his robe is stained with blood.
Fortunately, up until this point in the war, there were no generals like Ashina Chengqing or Li Guiren among the Yan generals. He had never met a top master like Fusang Ghost Blade. Otherwise, Bai Fu would really be unable to fly, and his life would be hanging by a thread.
Even so, after a stick of incense, Bai Fu gradually couldn't stand it anymore and decided to evacuate!
Bai Fuxuan slashed horizontally with his iron sword, and with a flash of light, three of the enemy general's heads fell off.
The besieging enemy will be frightened and will not dare to go forward alone before encircling them.
With this hesitation, Bai Fu made a somersault and rushed into a courtyard. Before the enemy could break in, Bai Fu passed over two roof ridges and climbed out of the high wall surrounding the granary.
After digging out of the grain depot, the situation became even more dangerous. In front of Bai Fu was an open land with no obstacles to defend.
This is an abandoned village with ruins. There is a jujube tree to the east of the village, and a jujube tree to the right. In the center of the village, there is a well, and a short wall in the shape of a half-person tall concave shape surrounding the well.
In the distance at the end of the village, there are bright lights, which should be the Yan army camp. There are tents one after another, and the sound of dispatching troops can be vaguely heard.
Bai Fu thought in his heart that he could only fight back the same way, maybe there was still a glimmer of hope.
Bai Fu looked at the sky and saw that there was still some time before dawn.
Bai Fu took out the folding bow "睚禦", banged the string, and quickly checked the arrows he carried with him.
Bai Fu thought: "Shoot all the arrows in the quiver and wait for the last time. If there is still no movement from the hammer squad, I will take advantage of the chaos and kill them back."
Enemies came like a tide.
Bai Fu looked at the enemies attacking from all sides, raised his bow and drew an arrow, his heart as calm as water. He shot out an arrow, knocking Yan Jiang, who was at the front, upside down.
Bai Fu's arrows are like lotus flowers, hitting the heads of the enemy generals who rush up one by one.
The Yan soldiers quickly adjusted their offensive strategy and no longer launched a charge. Instead, they called in crossbowmen to shoot from a distance.
"Swish, swish, swish", the Yan army's crossbows fired in unison.
A cold arrow grazed the root of Bai Fu's ear, bringing up a gust of wind and sending out a stream of yellow smoke from the mud wall beside Bai Fu.
Bai Fu turned around and saw that the Yan soldiers on the east side were shouting like jackals and were surrounding them in twos and threes.
"Surrender!" General Yan's voice approaching to persuade him to surrender.
"Surrender, why do you have to sacrifice your life for that old man Li Heng? Follow the Emperor of Dayan, you will have food, drink, glory and wealth!"
The land occupied by Bai Fu was surrounded by enemies on three sides. The enemy gathered more and more densely, and they were all surrounded. The Yan soldiers were like mung bean flies smelling honey, and they all wanted to fly over to taste it.
But he was also afraid of being caught in honey, so he didn't dare to go forward alone. He planned to encircle him and wait for an opportunity to pounce on him.
"Hero, look at the formation around you. It's impossible to get out. If you want to survive, surrender obediently!"
The Yan soldiers cheered and cheered, and howls came and went.
"Coming up from the north!"
Bai Fu looked back and saw, a hundred meters away, dozens of Yan army iron riders holding spears and shouting loudly, rushing out from behind and galloping towards the concave opening of the low wall.
Bai Fu's body was like an eight-armed vajra, and a series of arrows rained down. The arrows were fired without missing a beat, killing several people in a row. The enemy was in chaos, and had to use shields and set up a fish scale array to protect the whole body.
Bai Fu was about to break out of the low wall, risk his life and fight to the death.
There was a small brick well in the center of the low wall, and a man's head suddenly appeared at the mouth of the well.
The man waved his hand and shouted: "Hero, jump into the well quickly!"
