The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 454 Lori's Explosion, The Sentimental Heaven and Earth Sword 23
A mile away, Fengziying's hundred Qingqi, led by Ning Emei, moved forward at a normal speed in the torrential rain.

Just when they passed a bush, there was a sudden change. Two thorny thorny vines suddenly popped out from the bush, pierced the rain curtain, and flew towards Fengziying Qingqi.

Due to the heavy rain, both hearing and perception were severely suppressed, so even Ning Emei did not notice the sudden appearance of the rattan.

The vine was like a spirit snake, wrapping around the necks of the two Fengzi Battalion cavalrymen, pulling them towards the bushes.

"Uhhhhh..."

The sharp thorns on the rattan pierced the pawn's neck, and the pawn's face quickly turned black, and the severe pain made these iron-clad men couldn't help screaming.

Obviously, the rattan is covered with poison, which will not only kill people, but also make people experience extreme pain before death.

Ning Emei's face changed drastically. He never dreamed that someone would dare to attack the Beiliang army in this land that had just left Beiliang.

He shouted angrily: "Feng Ziying, form an formation against the enemy, and tear the opponent into pieces."

The remaining 98 riders of Fengziying immediately formed a small cavalry formation in groups of three or four, pulled out the Beiliang knife at their waists, and rushed towards the woods beside the road.

The horse's hooves crushed the stagnant water, and Fengziying's momentum was like a rainbow, and its murderous aura soared up into the sky.

But before they rushed into the woods, they saw a burly and tall mysterious man in a strange red armor rushing out of the woods.

"Kill..." The knight who was the first to charge raised his Beiliang knife, and slashed at the red-armored man heavily while shouting.

The man in the red armor just raised his arms above his head, and then he fitted himself together and slammed into the horse of the leading knight.

"Chong"

"bang"

"Sorry..."

The Beiliang knife slashed on the arm of the man in red armor, but there was only a crisp sound, not even a mark was left on the red armor.

However, the horse that was hit by the red-armored man turned over suddenly with the horse and the man, and flew straight for more than ten feet.

This small cavalry formation is composed of three cavalry, one in front and two in the back, forming a triangular formation.

After the red-armoured man knocked over the first rider, he stretched his arms forward, and two thorns and vines shot out from his palms, forcing the two riders away.

The two cavalry saw the rattan coming, and swung their knives to chop it down. As a result, the Beiliang knife, which is famous for its sharpness, failed to cut through the rattan, but was entangled by the rattan.

The man in red armor grabbed the cane and pulled it back suddenly, the two knights couldn't hold the knife suddenly, the handle slipped from their palms, and the palms were ground to blood.

After taking away the weapons of the two cavalrymen, the cane wrapped around the two cavalry pawns from left to right.

Thanks to the excellent riding skills of the cavalrymen of Fengziying, seeing this situation, they immediately leaned back and lay flat on the horse's back, avoiding the entanglement of the rattan.

Two riders ran past the red-armored man, followed by Ning Emei who had already reacted.

Using the momentum of the horse, the iron halberd with the divination character weighing tens of kilograms, with a terrifying sound of piercing through the air, cut through the rain curtain and slammed down heavily on the head of the man in red armor.

However, the man in red armor didn't dodge or dodge, instead he raised his hands and grabbed the head of the iron halberd.

"Chong"

In the splash of water, the man in red armor was driven by the violent impact and slid back a full two feet. His hands, which were chopped off by the halberd's head, were not injured at all.

The man in red armor leaned forward, kicked his left leg backwards suddenly, and stopped firmly, then hugged the head of the halberd, and lifted it with strength.

Ning Emei only felt a huge force that could not be resisted, coming from the iron halberd, and his whole body was lifted off the horse's back, and he was thrown into the air.

Although Ning Emei was not flustered, she turned over in mid-air and landed steadily.

"Drink..."

With a loud shout, Ning Emei exploded with anger, and forcibly pulled the divination iron halberd from the hand of the man in red armor.

Then he twisted his waist and used his waist to drive his arms. While turning around, he turned the divination iron halberd around and slashed hard at the red armored man's head.

"Chong"

The man in red armor raised his hand, and immediately staggered a few steps to the side, but Ning Emei's heart sank.

Although the halberd shook the red-armored man, it still failed to cause harm to it. What kind of monster is this?

"Clang clang..."

De Ning Emei held back for a while, Feng Ziying Qingqi rushed up one after another.

The Beiliang knife slashed at the red-armored man, but it only made a crisp sound and failed to cause any damage to the red-armored man.

After one cut, the originally extremely sharp blade either became blunt or curled.

Naturally, the red-armored man would not fight back after being hacked, the rattan in his palm stretched and retracted like a poisonous snake.

Or like a rope entanglement, or like a soft braid whipping, dozens of riders were shot down and dismounted in a short while.

Those who were pulled off the horse were okay, at most they suffered moderate injuries, and those who were almost lucky were only broken tendons and bones.

After all, although Fengziying is not as heavily armored as Tiefutu, the light armor on his body still has a certain defensive power.

After all, the spikes on the cane were wooden spikes, and they couldn't pierce the light armor on the cavalrymen of Fengziying.

But once the rattan entangles the neck, or injures the hands and legs, he will be poisoned immediately, and he will die within a short while.

Relying on Ning Emei's high martial arts skills, the divination iron halberd can often hit the red-armored man, but it can't cause any damage except for making him stagger a few steps and sway left and right.

This made Ning Emei and Feng Ziying's cavalry secretly desperate. How should they deal with such an opponent who could not break through the defense at all?

But despite the despair, none of the Fengziying cavalry retreated.

They rushed forward one after another, rushing towards the red-armored man without risking their lives, and desperately slashed the knife in their hands to all parts of its body, intending to find the red-armored man's weakness.

But it was obviously futile, the armor on the man in red armor protected him from head to toe, and there was no flaw at all.

Suddenly, whether it was Ning Emei, or the cavalrymen of Fengziying and their horses, including the man in red armor, they all stopped in place for an instant.

Someone raised the knife with a ferocious front face, opened his mouth wide, and was about to chop it down with a roar, but suddenly froze, and even the expression on his face remained the same.

Someone was blown away by the rattan of the man in red armor, and was flying away from the horse, but he was stuck in the air.

Even the torrential downpour was frozen in the air and could no longer fall.

The entire world, as if the pause button was pressed, completely stopped.

Ning Emei and all the cavalry were terrified. They couldn't move their bodies, and they couldn't even control the blinking of their eyelids, but their consciousness was still clear.

They didn't understand what happened at all, how this miraculous scene appeared.

It wasn't until a petite figure descended from the sky that they finally understood who caused such a scene.

The moment Luo Li rushed to the scene, all the raindrops began to fuse quickly, and in an instant, they turned into a long sword made of raindrops all over the sky.

As Luoli's sword pointed at the wooden armor in the red armor of the talisman, the sky-filled water sword rushed towards the wooden armor immediately.

This is Sentinel Heaven and Earth Sword 23. The biggest difference between it and Mietian Judi Sword 23 is that the burst of sword energy is controllable, and there is no need for the primordial spirit to leave the body.

After countless water swords hit the wooden armor without falling, there was not a single drop of rain in this area up, down, left, right, and in all directions for more than twenty feet.

"crash"

Everything that was stagnant suddenly resumed operation, and the wooden armor was scattered all over the ground in an instant. The blood and water mixed with the water formed by the water swords spread around the armor.

The person in the armor disappeared without a trace, but was pulverized by the countless water swords and turned into blood.

The cavalry pawn who had raised his saber to strike down, finally fell with the saber he held high, but it just missed.

The cavalry pawn who was blown away by the cane did not fall to the ground, Luo Li Yaoyao raised her palm to face him, and gently put him down on the ground.

"Wow wow wow..."

The heavy rain fell again, but it still couldn't get within three feet of Luoli.

For a moment, there was no other sound in this area except the sound of rain, and all the cavalrymen of the Fengzi Battalion were silent, just looking at Luoli in awe.

In that petite body, there is terrifying and incomparable power, that kind of power should not be grasped by mortals at all.

Many people shuddered when they recalled the feeling of being unable to move and being slaughtered just now.

Fortunately, the beautiful young woman in front of him is one of his own, otherwise they would be wiped out in an instant.

Different from the servants of the Northern Liang Palace, they are soldiers, they stay in the barracks on weekdays and have no chance to get in touch with Luoli at all, so naturally they don't know her well.

Therefore, everyone only had awe of her in their hearts, but no sense of intimacy.

Ning Emei took the initiative to walk in front of Lolita, cupped her fists and saluted, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Madam Zheng, for your help."

Although he has always looked down on Xu Fengnian, he still admires Zheng Zha and Luo Li very much, especially after what happened today, this admiration has been sublimated into reverence.

Luo Li nodded to him, and said softly: "You are welcome, General Ning, let's treat the brothers first."

As she spoke, she put her hand into the cloth pouch at her waist, and when she took it out again, there was an extra porcelain bottle in her hand, "This is the healing holy medicine, Wuchang Pill, which claims to be able to snatch life from the hands of life-suspecting Wuchang. Rescue the dying, and quickly serve the seriously injured brother."

Ning Emei clasped her fists gratefully and said, "Thank you Madam for your life."

After speaking, he took the porcelain bottle, turned around and ordered to his impatient opponent, "Quickly, bring the seriously injured brother over here, and pay attention to keeping out the rain."

In ancient battlefields, in fact, not many soldiers died on the spot. Instead, those who were seriously injured but could not receive effective medical treatment accounted for the majority of the death rate.

Sometimes even if it is only a minor injury, because there is no effective means to prevent wound infection, the minor injury becomes a serious injury, and eventually loses his life.

Seeing this, Luo Li flew into the air again and returned to the front line.

……

After half a stick of incense, Ning Emei rushed to the team with the wooden armor.

With Luoli's return, Xu Fengnian naturally knew what happened later, and Ning Emei didn't repeat it.

He put the wooden armor beside him, knelt down on one knee and said, "Because the general was negligent for a while, he was attacked by the red-armored men, causing heavy casualties to the Fengzi Camp."

"The last general came here to accept the crime, and I just beg the prince to spare the remaining soldiers of the Fengzi camp."

Xu Fengnian stared at Ning Emei in front of him, and asked, "How about the specific casualties of Fengzi Battalion?"

Luo Li didn't calculate the casualty rate in detail at the time, but only told Xu Fengnian that the casualties were not small, so he asked this question.

Ning Emei lowered his head and said in deep pain: "Seven people were killed, 12 were seriously injured, and 23 were slightly injured. Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng was treated with the elixir. The seriously injured soldiers are not in danger."

Xu Fengnian looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "According to the military law of Beiliang, if the battle is defeated and the soldiers are incompetent, what is the punishment?"

Ning Emei said: "The least whipping, the most serious beheading."

Xu Fengnian asked again in a concentrated voice: "When the red-armored men attack, is there anyone in the Fengzi Camp who is afraid of the battle and retreats?"

Ning Emei raised her drooping head, looked at Xu Fengnian and said decisively: "I haven't retreated a single step, only the Fengzi camp died in the battle, and there are no Beiliang soldiers who fled for their lives."

Xu Fengnian said loudly: "Okay, nearly half of the casualties fought bravely and never retreated. You can be called a brave man. This battle Fengziying has no merit or crime. Get up."

In a real ancient battlefield, when the casualty rate of a team exceeds [-]%, it should basically be disbanded. If it does not disintegrate, it can be called a capable army.

Those whose casualties exceed [-]% and have not collapsed can be called elite divisions.

And like the Fengziying, almost half of the casualties are still not broken, and there are not many troops in the whole world.

It can even be said that there is an army in this world that will never back down even if one soldier dies. Before the appearance of the Hualong Army, there was only the Beiliang Army.

Ning Emei stood up and looked at Xu Fengnian with complicated eyes.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have never really understood this Beiliang son who was known as the world's most rich man.

"Ning Emei, thank you son for Feng Ziying."

Xu Fengnian's sentence "There is no crime for meritorious service" is not just empty talk, since meritorious service should be rewarded.

Rewards for meritorious deeds, punishments for demerits, and clear rewards and punishments are the iron law of the Northern Liang Army.

Xu Fengqing sighed young, and said to Ning Emei warmly: "You can take the soldiers back to Beiliang. Now it seems that going east is a dead end."

The theory of a dead end is aimed at Ning Emei and Feng Ziying soldiers, after all, they are troops rather than martial arts masters.

When the number of people has not formed a scale, there is no advantage in facing martial arts masters, and they are just objects to be slaughtered.

When Ning Emei heard Xu Fengnian's words, her complexion changed, and she said excitedly, "Why are Beiliang iron cavalry afraid of death?"

Xu Fengnian asked loudly: "Should the dead soldiers go home? Should the wounded brothers heal?"

Ning Emei was speechless, she lowered her head slightly, but felt really aggrieved in her heart.

Seeing this, Xu Fengnian's voice softened again, "You take them back to Beiliang, and then rush back, I will slow down and wait for you."

Hearing this, the grievance in Ning Emei's heart disappeared without a trace. He stood upright, clenched his right hand and tapped his left chest. This is a military salute from the Beiliang Army.

Seeing this, Xu Fengnian also returned the salute with the military salute from Beiliang.

Ning Emei got on the horse and left. After Xu Fengnian ordered Shu Shu to put the wooden armor into the second carriage, the team set off again.

When Xu Fengnian returned to the carriage, Li Chungang squinted at him and said, "The way to buy people's hearts is good. It's hard to say that the surname is Ning. I'm afraid the remaining soldiers will be willing to die for you in the future."

Xu Fengnian didn't mind Li Chungang's words, but said indifferently: "Fengziying is not so easy to be bribed, and I don't want them to die in battle."

Luo Li looked at Li Chungang contemptuously, and said, "Old man, he obviously cherishes the lives of soldiers, so why did you say that he bought people's hearts?"

Jiang Ni even mercilessly echoed, "That's right, people with unclean hearts don't see anything clean."

Li Chungang couldn't laugh or cry, he naturally didn't care about the two girls, but said to Xu Fengnian: "You are the son of the prince, it is only right and proper for them to die for you."

Xu Fengnian's gaze was fixed, and he said in a deep voice, "The reason why I agreed to take over Beiliang is to subvert such a natural truth."

Li Chungang looked at Xu Fengnian in surprise. This kid's thoughts seemed to be completely different from those of ordinary aristocratic families.

I just don't know where he can go.
