Comprehensive Martial Arts: Read to become a sage, use martial arts to break the ban

Chapter 175 Yunzhong Town, West Route Army

When they were about to walk out of the Yunzhong Mountains, the three of Xijiangyue chased after them.

Xiao Luo and Li Hanyi stayed in the forest for a full eight days while recuperating from their injuries and their direction was unknown.

Although Li Fan was unconscious, his physical condition was still stable, which made Xiao Luo feel relieved a lot.

The setting sun divides the forest into two halves, one half is dark and the other half is bright.

Just between light and darkness, Xiao Luo stopped and looked back.

Xi Jiangyue rushed over first: "Wei Lang, you can't escape."

Then Feng Rusong dragged Le'er with half support and half hug, and walked out after him.

Xiao Luo frowned: "Chess Sword Yuefu?"

"That's right, either go back with us, or die here, which one do you choose?"

Xi Jiangyue's voice was confident, because he saw Wei Lang carrying a person on his shoulders, and they had wounded.

"I don't choose any of them, but you guys, since you set foot in Beili, don't go back."

Xi Jiangyue pulled out the sword at his waist. He was a top-ranking figure in the Sword Mansion, and Xi Jiangyue was a big name in the first place.

This word card was snatched from him when he was 23 years old, it was snatched away at the age of 25, and he snatched it back at the age of 28.

After that, I lost it twice, until I was 37 years old, eight years later, and I never lost it again.

His sword is a distinctive broadsword, as thick as a knife.

People from Chess and Sword Yuefu can choose a sword from the sword library after they get the name of the ci brand. Xi Jiangyue took a fancy to this epee weighing [-] jin.

If it wasn't for the Sword Mansion, he might have learned sword techniques, because Xi Jiangyue felt that on the grassland, only strength was the number one priority.

A knife is heavier than a sword.

The heavy sword was unsheathed, and the intent to kill suddenly came.

Feng Rusong pulled Le'er and stood quietly aside.

Feng Rusong's thinking is different from Xi Jiangyue's. Feng Rusong will never underestimate someone who can kill Huang Qing.

No one knew Huang Qing better than him.

After Huang Qing came back from his third trip, Feng Rusong was curious about the level of the sword god Li Chungang, so he came to Huang Qing to discuss.

In the end, Huang Qing defeated him with one move.

What he used was the trick he used against Li Chungang.

Feng Rusong immediately understood the difference between himself and Huang Qing.

Afterwards, he accompanied Huang Qing to practice swords in the wind and sand. When Huang Qing used his sword energy to hold the sand thousands of miles away, Feng Rusong was chopping the sand.

Sand is fluid.

It's hard to hold on.

Chop, equally difficult.

Countless days later, Huang Qing returned to Qijian Yuefu to take over as the head of Jianfu, Feng Rusong returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, picked up a little boy, and depended on him for life.

While Feng Rusong was meditating, Xi Jiangyue's sword moved, and the sound of piercing the sky shook the sky.

As expected of an epee, if the direction of the sweep is the woods behind, Xi Jiangyue's move can definitely sweep away a thousand giant trees.

After eight days of recuperation, Xiao Luo's energy and blood almost completely recovered.

For the past eight days, I have been forcing myself to stuff food into my stomach every day, especially meat, and drank a lot of raw blood of wild animals.

When those warm blood came down his throat, Xiao Luo really wanted to spit it out.

Not only did he drink it himself, but he also fed it into Li Fan's mouth.

Li Fan can't move his mouth by himself, fresh blood is the best food.

It was in this state of being raw and drinking blood that most of the blood that Xiao Luo had been sucked away by the mayfly Tianzi sword returned.

Seeing Xijiangyue's epee stabbing towards him, Xiao Luo coldly swung the Heavenly Zhan.

After being honed by Bei Mang, Xiao Luo's sword intent became colder, sharper, and ruthless.

The two swords intersected, Xi Jiangyue was repelled, and the epee in her hand almost flew away.

"How is it possible? He was seriously injured when he left Dunhuang City!"

No one answered him.

Xiao Luotian Zhan attacked again, with awe-inspiring sword intent and killing intent enveloped Xijiangyue.

Behind Xi Jiangyue was a vast dense forest, he had nowhere to retreat, he drank in a deep voice, transported all his true energy, and rushed out like a mad tiger.

The body and the sword are one.

There is no sword.

This is the courage that the epee gave Xi Jiangyue. If he is at a disadvantage, break it with strength.

Xiao Luo was not frightened by his pounce, his legs were like the roots of old trees, deeply rooted in the ground.

The golden sword is bright, and the sword intent is vertical and horizontal.

The two swords collided again.

It was Xijiangyue who was repelled, Hulala fell into the woods, and the castration continued, knocking down one big tree after another.

Xi Jiangyue's heart sank.

Wei Lang was not injured at all, or the injury has already healed.

When the two moves intersected, Xi Jiangyue had already determined that she was not his opponent.

While retreating, Xi Jiangyue took advantage of the strength of the sword to lightly kick her toes where she passed, allowing herself to fly further.

Soon, Xi Jiangyue's figure disappeared into the woods.

He actually left his companions and fled.

Feng Rusong and Le'er were stunned in place, Xiao Luo and Li Hanyi were also stunned.

Xiao Luo withdrew the Heavenly Zhan, and said lightly: "Bei Mang's swordsmanship is over."

"It's too early to say."

Feng Rusong patted Le'er's hand and walked out.

The shape of his sword is so ordinary that people can even ignore it, but in fact, his sword is made by the best foundry in Beimang, and it is fused with a piece of black iron and black gold, which is extremely hard.

The sword is plain and unpretentious, without even a name, but it is a sword suitable for killing people.

Otherwise, Feng Rusong would not use this sword to chop thousands of miles of yellow sand.

"Are you also from Qijian Yuefu?"

"It used to be, the name of the ci brand became popular."

"Unfortunately, you can't go back to your hometown again."

Feng Rusong glanced back at Le'er, who was trembling with tears in her eyes.

"Mr. Wei, Lady Li, I have a request. If I die, can I let this little boy go? He is just my servant boy, not a martial artist."

Xiao Luo could tell that the boy in front of him was indeed an ordinary person.

"Even if we let him go, with his ability, he might not be able to go back to Beimang. There are hordes of beasts in this mountain range."

Feng Rusong sighed: "That is his fate."

"As you wish, we will give him a way out."

Xiao Luo drew out his sword, and the sword opened the wind and clouds, like a dragon transforming into form.

The wind enters the pine and the sword comes out, and a sword strikes out, which is as heavy as a thousand jun.

The swords intersected with each other, and the figures of the two swayed and stabilized at the same time.

"Your sword is heavy."

"Your sword is not light."

Tian Zhan is also a huge sword, which came from the founding emperor of the Northern Li Dynasty. It is a sword that fights in the battlefield, and it has been stained with the blood of countless people.

"Come again."

The wind enters the pine and releases the second sword, cutting the sky, cutting the ground, and cutting people.

His sword has no skills. When he sharpened his sword in the yellow sand, all sword skills were worn out, leaving only strength and sword energy.

Xiao Luo drew his second sword, and the golden light shone brightly, shining all over the field, reflecting the sky.

Feng Rusong's wrist trembled, and the sword was struck back with a whine.

"Beili's swordsmanship is great, but Beimang's swordsmanship is in danger."

These were Feng Rusong's last words, he didn't turn his head to look at Le'er again, because his whole body was covered in blood.

He didn't want to leave this face to Le'er, if Xiao Tong could still live.

Feng Rusong fell forward and fell into the thick leaves.

The last rays of the setting sun cast dappled shadows on the leaves.

Xiao Luo used his hand to support Li Fan's buttocks, the force of the sword just now almost knocked Li Fan down.

Li Hanyi said softly to the little boy, "Go, go back the same way."

Le'er took a longing look at the wind into the pine on the ground, and ran towards the woods.

Xiao Luo and Li Hanyi stepped out of the mountain range and walked towards the official road at the foot of the mountain.

"Bei Mang's army should have arrived at Yunzhong Town at this time."

"We rushed there in the dark, and we should be able to get out of Yunzhong Town at dawn tomorrow."

"I hope the West Route Army can hold on. After all, the morale of this army has been crippled by us."

"Ah."

Taking advantage of the darkness, the two walked hurriedly.

What Xiao Luo and Li Hanyi didn't know was that within fifty miles into the forest, Le'er was stabbed to death by Xi Jiangyue who was waiting on the way home.

"How can I let the second person know about my escape?"

Xi Jiangyue drew back the epee, wiped it off Le'er's body, found a huge tree, and flew towards it.

He had to think carefully about where to go next.

Back to Beimang?Or simply go to the cloud and join Dong Shao?If he returns with some military merits, he should be able to make up for the fault of not catching Wei Lang and Li Hanyi.

Outside the city in the clouds, black clouds cover the sun.

More than 20 Beimang cavalry soldiers approached the city, and thick smoke rose from time to time.

That is the smoke column from the burning of villages outside Yunzhong City. Although there are not many villages outside the city, decades of peace have allowed bold people to come here to open up wasteland.

After two or three generations of accumulation, some industries have gradually formed.

Unexpectedly, the flames of war broke out.

In a blink of an eye, the family was destroyed.

In Yunzhong City, the coach Gu Yi sat in the hall with a sullen face.

Deputy Commander Xing Haoqi, General You Zi'an of the Front Battalion, General Tian Yu of the Left Battalion, General Lu Wen of the Right Battalion, General Ji Yuanji of the Back Battalion, and military Chinese books are all listed here.

"Bei Mang is coming fiercely, and the city has been besieged for five days. Although Yunzhong is not worried about supplies, if they cannot be defeated, Bei Mang may increase its troops. What is the best strategy for you generals?"

Xing Haoqi spoke first: "The final general invites you to fight. After eating the camp meal tomorrow morning, the final general is willing to lead his troops out of the city to fight!"

Gu Yi didn't reply, just looked at the others from the corner of his eye.

You Zi'an, general of the Qianfeng Battalion, continued: "The Qianfeng Battalion is willing to fight with Xing Shuai!"

When the other generals saw the two of them asking for a fight, they followed suit one after another.

After they finished expressing their views, Gu Yi asked: "Aside from going out of the city to fight, everyone has no other choice?"

Yunzhong Town has always been an important route to the south of the prairie, and Yunzhong is holding the hands of the prairie cavalry, and these hands are stuck on the enemy's throat.

These hands must be strong, if they can't get stuck, they will be bitten to death by the enemy.

Therefore, there is only one word to describe the soldiers guarding the front line of Yunzhong in the Northern Calendar 300 years, and that is "courage".

But the current army is not the original North Route Army, but the West Route Army transferred from the West Front. They were originally subordinates of Zhen Xihou.

After the death of Lord Hou, the first emperor Zai withdrew the Zhenxi Hou Mansion and transferred the entire army to northern Xinjiang.

Many people thought that this was exile in disguise, and it was the imperial court's distrust of them.

Gu Yi doesn't think so. As a soldier, defending the country comes first, so personal grievances are not worth mentioning.

Although he is a direct descendant cultivated by the old master, Gu Yi has never mentioned the word Zhenxihou since he came to Yunzhong.

His indifference and ruthlessness made the 20 people in the West Route Army understand that everything belonging to Zhenxihou is over.

Unknowingly, Gu Yi and the West Route Army have served in Yunzhong for 35 years.

He passed from youth to manhood, and then to twilight years.

58 years old.

More and more people have retired, and fewer and fewer familiar faces. In the past 35 years, all ordinary soldiers have been replaced.

Those who came out of Zhenxihou's mansion back then, only the deputy commander Xing Haoqi and the rear battalion general Ji Yuanji remained.

The generals of the vanguard battalion and the left and right battalions were all promoted by him level by level after coming to Yunzhong.

After decades of peace, without a single battle, this is the biggest crisis for the West Route Army.

How dare Gu Yi let them go out of the city?
"Is there any response to the military report sent to Tianzi?"

The document hurriedly said: "Report to Gu Shuai, the replies from the other cities have arrived, but Tianzi has not yet replied."

In addition to reporting the military situation to Tianzi, Gu Yi also sent a request to the several big cities behind him to mobilize food and grass.

Soon, the food and grass of Taiyuan Mansion arrived.

But it is not enough to have food and grass in a war. Gu Yi needs food and grass, but he can't afford people.

Looking at the young battalion generals, Gu Yi was a little annoyed. They all relied on time to earn their qualifications, or won the literary examination, so they gradually rose up.

Due to the particularity of the West Route Army, the Tianzi Metropolitan Government did not transfer Gu Yi any other frontier or government generals.

Gu Yi once thought it was a good thing, it was a tacit understanding between him and Tian Zi.

But now he has some regrets. Only he and the deputy commander have truly experienced war, and both of them are in their fifties, and their physical strength is not as good as before. Maybe they were thrown off by the horse before they could kill the enemy. .

In the past few days, he stood on the tower every day to patrol, and the cavalry from Beimang came to the city in turn to shout, swearing, trying to arouse the anger of the guards.

It's okay for these light cavalry, there is a solid city wall for defense, but there is still an iron Buddha army in Beimang, which is what Gu Yi is most worried about.

He stood on the city wall and watched for a few days, but he didn't see the rumored Rouran Iron Buddha.

This made him even more afraid to open the door to fight.

However, the war will not always be a stalemate. In the past two days, the Beimang army has gradually erected siege vehicles, ladders and catapults.

Maybe after dawn tomorrow, there will be a real bloody battle.

Gu Yi thought about it, but there was no good way, so he reminded everyone to patrol, and the meeting ended.

Walking out of the commander-in-chief's mansion, You Zi'an pulled Tian Yu and Lu Wen, and said softly, "Go to my place."

These generals have been in the cloud for a long time, and they have already bought their own private houses. Some brought their wives over, and some took concubines. They lived happily.

You Zi'an's mansion is quite grand, located in the most prosperous Zhenbaofang, covering an area of ​​[-] mu.

There is a lake in the mansion, which can be regarded as a scene in the clouds.

You Zi'an's wife and children didn't come over, and took in two concubines to serve him comfortably.

Colleagues usually get together, so they often choose him.

Hearing You Zi'an's invitation, Tian Yu and Lu Wenwen couldn't think about it. Now it's wartime, and Gu Shuai is very strict in his supervision.

"It is to discuss the war."

"Since it's a war, why didn't you say it in front of Gu Shuai just now?"

You Zi'an frowned and said, "Gu Shuai is timid to fight, it's useless to talk about it."

Lu Wen was shocked, but fortunately there was no one around, so he hurriedly said, "Keep your voice down! I'll go to your place first."

Three cavalry came to Youfu.

You Zi'an ordered the concubine to prepare meals, and then the three of them went into the study.

After closing the doors and windows, You Zi'an said, "Gu Shuai has been a general of peace for more than 30 years, and now it's time for him to retire and spend his old age."
