The Mystery of Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 27 The blue talisman reappeared from the killing intent, Xiao Ding's life hangs in the air

It was night, and Li Hui was leading his generals to summarize today's situation.

"In the two days of fighting, our army suffered a total of 500 casualties, and killed more than 1000 Tianxiong soldiers. The [-] newly trained civilians have been issued with weapons and are currently practicing."

Li Hui nodded. This is the reality. As long as there is a war, there must be casualties. Redstone City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are various fire oil city crossbows and other defensive weapons, but more than half of the army was still killed or injured.War has its laws, which cannot be changed by objective factors.And those who can break the law of war are all geniuses born in the world.

"Don't relax tonight, be careful that the Tianxiong people attack the city overnight." General Yang Sheng's reinforcements will arrive soon, and Li Hui doesn't want to give the Tianxiong people an opportunity at the last moment.

"Order Li Mao to go around behind the Tianxiong people, wait for the counterattack to start, and delay the speed of the Tianxiong people's retreat." Li Mao has led the first battalion out of the city for two days, and has not gained anything. Li Hui gave a clear decision at this moment. The order is also to express his dissatisfaction to his nephew, and it is difficult for him to always promote him with such a moderate use of troops.

It's just that Li Hui didn't know that eighteen people from Li Mao's first battalion had sneaked into Tianxiong's camp under the leadership of the daring Zhang Xiaoding, planning to give Tianxiong and himself a big surprise.

In the second half of the night, the Tianxiong camp had gradually quietened down, except for the occasional footsteps of night patrol soldiers passing by and the snorting of war horses, there was no other movement.

An inconspicuous tent was quietly opened, and a dozen figures came out one after another. It was Zhang Xiaoding and the eighteen scouts who followed him. The tent was full of corpses of horse bandits.

Before he came out, Zhang Xiaoding had carefully explained the mission, set fire to the camp, and provoked a fight between the horse bandits and the Tianxiong army.The scouts have kerosene they carry with them, which are packed in water bags, which is perfect for starting a fire at this time.

More than a dozen people squatted in a corner where no one could see. Zhang Xiaoding looked around, seeing these scouts who were willing to put their lives in his hands, and grinned: "Brothers, see you in the next life."

There was no more extravagant rhetoric, everyone stooped towards every corner of Tianxiong's camp, Zhang Xiaoding relied on his memory, and touched the big tent where the Tianxiong king was.

Bags of kerosene were opened and spilled in every corner of Tianxiong's camp.

Soon, the flames gradually ignited everywhere in the Tianxiong camp. Tonight, the north wind was strong, and the wind helped the fire to spread into a sea of ​​flames at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's on fire, it's on fire."

The Tianxiong soldiers were awakened by the shrill shouts, and they started fighting the fire in a panic before putting on their armor, but at this time, where could they find so much water to put out the fire.Sharp-eyed Tianxiong soldiers discovered that the person who set the fire was dressed up as a horse bandit who entered the camp at night, and immediately reported to the general Tianxiong on duty.

"You, hurry up and report to the lord, others, follow me."

Thousands of people took up weapons and rushed towards the place where the horse bandits camped.Pulling open a tent, he slashed at the horse bandits who didn't know what happened inside, and hundreds of horse bandits instantly became dead souls under the knife.Seeing such a tragic situation, the other horse bandits thought that the Tianxiong people were going to kill people to silence them, so they started to fight back.

"These goddamn snowfield savages want to kill people to silence them, brothers, kill them for me."

The Tianxiong Camp was full of fire and fighting, but Zhang Xiaoding had already arrived near the tent where the Tianxiong King was.

Zhuo Rilang had already been woken up by his subordinates, seeing the chaos in the camp, he immediately called one of his generals.

"You, get 3000 Benlang warriors quickly, and pull away the cart that entered the camp today to avoid fire."

"Obey the great lord, the horse bandit driving the chariot?"

"Kill it."

"Yes."

Soon, thousands of bare-chested running wolf fighters rushed towards the place where the carts were parked. Although the number of horse bandits was small, they were all desperadoes. While fighting with Tianxiong soldiers, they also set fire to the camp. It was a mess.

Zhang Xiaoding originally wanted to sneak into the big tent to assassinate Zhuo Rilang, but he saw that thousands of people had surrounded the big tent so tightly that even mice couldn't get in, let alone people.

While he was in a hurry, the curtain of a tent next to him was pulled open, and a person came out, who turned out to be a young man from the Xia Kingdom who was with Lord Tianxiong at night. Without thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoding picked up the military crossbow, raised his hand and shot go.

What Zhang Xiaoding saw was Tianqi, and when he heard the noise outside, he wanted to go out to see what was going on, but before he stepped out of the tent, he heard the sound of crossbow arrows. With Tianqi's martial strength, it was naturally easy He dodged the past, but he didn't expect that when the arrow shooter shot out, the whole person followed the arrow and slashed at him with a knife.

Tian Qi didn't panic, turned his body slightly, kicked Zhang Xiaoding into his tent, and turned back into the tent.

Zhang Xiaoding shot another arrow, Tian Qi raised his hand and swiped the crossbow arrow, the arrow pierced the tent and shot outside.

Zhang Xiaoding looked at the young man in front of him like a monster, this guy is so strong that even the crossbow arrows can't hit him.

Tian Qi was also very shocked. This person was actually loaded with an arrow during the process of being kicked by himself. Although his kick was not very strong, it was not something ordinary people could bear. The old man was only slightly injured, and he still had the strength to fight back. Where can he be a master?
How did he know that Zhang Xiaoding is not a master at all, but he has experienced too many fights recently, and has been taught by a group of veterans represented by Yang Sheng.

Zhang Xiaoding didn't allow Tianqi to think too much, he threw the crossbow aside, raised his knife and struck at Tianqi again.Tian Qi's footsteps changed, and he slapped Zhang Xiaoding's shoulder with a palm. With a click, half of Zhang Xiaoding's shoulder was dislocated, and he almost fainted from the pain, and fell to the ground with a plop.

Tian Qi exhausted all his moves, and stepped forward, unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoding grabbed a handful of soil and raised his hand, and raised his hand towards Tian Qi's face, and then the knife blade went from bottom to top, stabbing Tian Qi's stomach.Tian Qi was so angry that he didn't hold back any more, he leaned back and used his palm to transform a fist, hitting Zhang Xiaoding's chest.

Under Tian Qi's rage, he unleashed all his killer moves. This punch was so powerful that it directly shattered all the clothes on Zhang Xiaoding's chest, and his mask fell to the ground.Tian Qi looked at it and froze on the spot for a moment.

The person who attacked him fell to the ground and passed out, the ups and downs of his chest were already very weak, and the face under the mask was very strange. Tian Qi knew that he had never seen this person before, but why did he feel a little familiar, like an old man whom he had not seen for many years? Friends, like countless shadows passing by in dreams.Especially on his chest, there is a blue amulet.

As if struck by lightning, Tian Qi stepped forward and grabbed the amulet in front of Zhang Xiaoding's eyes to look at it for a moment, then grabbed Zhang Xiaoding's shoulder and asked sharply, "Who are you?"

Zhang Xiaoding had already been beaten by Tianqi's punch and his breath was weak, how could he answer his question.

Tian Qi wanted to ask again, but suddenly there was a continuous vibration from the ground, and the killing noise outside also became louder, as if there were 10,000+ people running around.

Tian Qi had no choice but to put Zhang Xiaoding on the ground, took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it into Zhang Xiaoding's mouth, got up and went outside the tent.I saw that Tianxiong's camp was already in chaos. Although all the horse bandits in the camp had been killed, the shouts of killing from the direction of Hongshi City became louder and louder.Zhuo Rilang rode a white horse and stopped beside Tianqi: "Young man, Xia Guo's reinforcements have arrived, and I'm going to retreat back to the snowfield. Remember our agreement, the eagle in the snowfield will guide us to meet again." Watching the army pull out the camp and retreat, Tian Qi looked inside the tent with a complicated expression. The soldier who attacked him just now was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. He could only suppress all doubts and disappeared into the vast night in the opposite direction of Xia Guo's reinforcements. .

It was Yang Sheng who came. He had already arrived near Hongshi City when he was still there, and he only informed Li Hui that he would arrive at dawn tomorrow to prevent the military situation from leaking out.When the three frontier garrison regiments led by Yang Sheng arrived at Hongshi City, they happened to see the Tianxiong Camp fire erupting everywhere. As a veteran of the Xia Army, his ability to seize opportunities on the battlefield was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. camp.

Zhuo Rilang is not a fool, if Yang Sheng's cavalry were allowed to take advantage of the chaos and enter his camp, then the 2 troops, including himself, would have to confess here, and then he would send [-] troops to fight Yang Sheng to the death. With all the luggage, he pulled out the camp and retreated.

After a great battle, from midnight to dawn, Yang Sheng wiped out the remaining Tianxiong army and entered the Tianxiong camp.

The Tianxiong camp had already been emptied, and a fire burned [-]% of the tents to ashes, and the corpses of horse bandits and Tianxiong soldiers lay outside the tents.Yang Sheng was very puzzled, how could there be so many horse bandits in Tianxiong Camp?And who set this fire?

Just as he was wondering, he saw a dozen ragged soldiers running over carrying a person, and Yang Sheng's personal soldiers stepped forward and surrounded them.

"General Yang, we want to see General Yang."

Hearing that everyone who came here spoke with Xia Guo's accent, Yang Sheng ordered his soldiers to put down their weapons, and stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"

These people were Zhang Xiaoding's [-] scouts, they found a place to hide after setting the fire, and secretly killed many Tianxiong soldiers, without any casualties.After Tianxiong's army withdrew, they searched all over Tianxiong's camp like a lunatic, only to find Zhang Xiaoding unconscious in a tent.

The burning of the Tianxiong camp this time was all planned by Zhang Xiaoding. The scouts have now completely convinced this young man, and even have a faint urge to work for him, but they did not expect that Zhang Xiaoding was the most injured, and he was about to die of serious injuries.

Niu Liang took a step forward, made a military salute and said, "General, we are the scouts of the first battalion in Hongshi City. We followed Zhang Xiaoding into the Tianxiong camp. We set off the fire last night."

"You set the fire?"

Yang Sheng was overjoyed when he heard that, so it made sense, Tianxiong Camp couldn't possibly catch fire for no reason.He is really a warrior, but who did the scout say he followed?
"Zhang Xiaoding? Where is he?"

Several scouts carried Zhang Xiaoding and shouted: "General, Zhang Xiaoding is seriously injured, please send someone to treat him quickly."

Yang Sheng jumped off the horse, rushed to Zhang Xiaoding's side, looked at the pale Zhang Xiaoding, praised the boy in his heart, turned his head and shouted at the soldiers: "Go back to Hongshi City, find me the best doctor, hurry up."

　Three thousand words are here today!
