Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 29 Iron Armor

Qi Xuansu grabbed the cavalry commander by the throat with one hand, dragged him out from under the horse, then shrank and used him to block himself.

"Let them all stop." Qi Xuansu whispered in the ear of the commander-in-chief.

Jiang always showed hesitation on his face.

Qi Xuansu didn't waste any time and directly put more force on his hands. The handler immediately felt the feeling of suffocation and hurriedly said: "Stop, stop it!"

After all the men in black looked at each other for a brief moment, they stopped but did not put down their weapons.

To be fair, even if Qi Xuansu was at the Yuxu stage, facing the charging cavalry on a flat ground with no danger to defend, it would be difficult to get a favor. It's not that there is no chance of winning, but it is very difficult.

Because neither warriors nor casual soldiers have any effective means of defeating the enemy, they can only fight in close quarters. However, a cavalryman itself weighs more than two thousand kilograms. After running at full strength, its momentum will definitely exceed that of Yuxu. The martial artist punched with all his strength. Qi Xuansu could overturn a cavalryman on the ground, but he could not overturn a charging cavalryman.

On the contrary, Qi Refiners and Alchemists in the Return to True Stage have quite an advantage in this regard. Flying swords and spells in the Return to True Stage can cause very effective damage.

However, the cavalry does not fight alone, but in groups. The power of a large cavalry charge is even greater, and these cavalry themselves are also well-educated. There are many innate people among the middle-level military attaches, and there are many heavenly people among the high-level military attaches. For example, Zhao Fu'an, who once injured Qi Xuansu, is a heavenly being.

More importantly, the appearance of a small group of men in black means that a large number of men in black are also nearby. If Qi Xuansu cannot fight quickly, he is likely to fall into a situation where he will be surrounded and suppressed by a large number of men in black. In this kind of situation, In this case, unless it is a heavenly being, there is absolutely no luck.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu had to use tricks, first showing the enemy weakness to make them relax their vigilance, and then suddenly launching an attack to capture the thief before the king. In fact, Qi Xuansu did not want to make things happen. If the sentry officer named Chen Meng was willing to let Qi Xuansu go, Qi Xuansu would not go on a rampage and kill people. Therefore, Qi Xuansu repeatedly repeated the sentence "What is convenient for others is what is convenient for oneself."

"I don't want to provoke the men in black, but you are bullying them too much." Qi Xuansu said softly, "Stop scaring me with the court and the men in black. Killing one is killing, killing two is killing. I only have one life, so many Even if you kill a few, you won’t die too many times.”

The general's expression was changing, but he forced himself to be calm: "Brother, if you have something to say, I saw everything that happened. It was Chen Meng who didn't follow the rules in the first place. I really can't blame you."

"Really?" Qi Xuansu smiled half-heartedly, "But he is already dead, so his death will not be in vain, right? Do you dare to say this?"

The general was speechless.

Qi Xuansu slowly backed away while holding the boss, and the people in black followed suit slowly, always maintaining a distance of about ten feet. Such a distance made it impossible for Qi Xuansu to turn around and flee, and it was also difficult for the cavalry to charge.

After such a confrontation for a while, a sudden change occurred, and Qi Xuansu's figure suddenly rose up. No one thought that Qi Xuansu could be so quick while holding an adult man hostage, and directly knocked a cavalryman off his horse, and then Qi Xuansu rode upside down on his horse, still blocking himself with the handle, causing the man in black to throw a rat weapon.

Then, Qi Xuansu squeezed the horse's belly with his legs. The horse, which weighed more than two thousand kilograms, did not feel any difficulty in carrying two adult men and immediately began to run wildly.

In the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, firearms and riding skills are compulsory courses. In any case, Qi Xuansu graduated with honors and was no worse than these cavalrymen. And thanks to his strong physique, even without using his hands, he can sit firmly on the horse and even control the mount under his crotch with just the strength of his waist, abdomen and legs.

The rest of the cavalrymen subconsciously wanted to catch up with their horses, but they heard a few whooshing sounds, and several flying knives came through the air. At such a close distance, the flying knives were very powerful. Although they would not directly cut off the horse's legs, they would frighten the horse. It’s still not difficult—even if it’s the man in black’s war horse.

Among the horses at the front, some raised their front hooves high, while others knelt down on their front legs, causing a sudden chaos.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qi Xuansu distanced himself and fled outside.

After running like this for more than ten miles, he had already thrown away the pursuers behind him.

At this time, the general who was held hostage by Qi Xuansu was shocked beyond words. This defeat was no longer a matter of realm cultivation, but purely a matter of tactics. This man's careful thinking and strong adaptability were far superior to ordinary people. , is by no means an ordinary Jianghu person. I was in trouble this time. Letting this person go was the next best thing. The key was that I was being held hostage. Even if I was lucky enough to save my life, I would have no future at all. I was lucky to be able to keep my position as general manager.

Just when this horseman was always lamenting his future, he suddenly found that the speed of the horse was slowing down. Because he was sitting upside down on the horse, he could not see clearly what was happening. However, as a veteran, he was keenly aware of something. A very unusual depressing atmosphere.

After a moment, the horse stopped and snorted.

Then he was thrown off the horse, and he finally saw what happened.

In front is a group of more than 500 black-armored cavalry. The armor is as dense as a forest, and the leader is a guard.

The camp system originated from the Jingying camp of the Wei Dynasty. After the Daxuan court abolished the guard system, it became the only military system for the men in black.

In the Xizhou Frontier Army, the Xizhou Protector is slightly higher than the Admiral Military Affairs Chief, and the Deputy Governor is slightly higher than the Guard Chief. Below them are still the Assistant Guard Deputy Chief, Staff General, and Guerrilla, and the garrison is at the sixth level. , lower than guerrillas, higher than Qian Zong, the fifth rank.

In terms of rank, the garrison is on the same level as Qingluan Guard's Qianhu Station, and the intimidating power of five hundred elite cavalry is no less than that of a Qianhu Station. If Qi Xuansu still has the status of a Taoist sect, he is now a sixth-grade Taoist priest enjoying the treatment of a fifth-grade Taoist priest. When meeting this guard, the two of them will probably be "lucky to meet" and develop friendship, which can be regarded as evenly matched. It's a pity that Qi Xuansu no longer has a Taoist status. Let alone friendship, he is lucky not to be regarded as a monster.

Qi Xuansu got off the horse and did not try to attack the five hundred cavalry by himself.

If these five hundred cavalry were all ordinary people, then Qi Xuansu might not be able to fight his way out.

But how come the men in black are all ordinary people? From the lower-level military attaches to the middle-level military attaches, and then to the high-level military attaches, their strength obviously shows a progressive trend. The high-level military attaches are not inferior to the high-quality Taoist priests of the Taoist sect. So the men in black The armored warriors will definitely not be ordinary people, but have the same cultivation level as the Taoist priests of the Taoist sect. In the elite frontier army system, this standard will be further raised.

For example, the sentry officer who was killed by Qi Xuansu had already touched the threshold of an innate person. This cavalry commander is also in a bottleneck with half a foot crossing the threshold of innateness, which is similar to Zhou Feilong, the Qingluan Guard tester who died in the hands of Qi Xuansu. By analogy, Qian Zonghe and the garrison have approximately the cultivation level of the Kunlun stage, the generals and guerrillas have approximately the cultivation level of the Yuxu stage, the deputy general guard officer has the cultivation level of the Guizhen stage, and the chief guard officer is a real heavenly being. .

This is just individual combat power. The man in black has never been able to fight alone.

In this case, Qi Xuansu went crazy and rushed to the battle alone.

Qi Xuansu was silent, his mind racing, thinking about how to get out of trouble.

The leading guard looked at Qi Xuansu and asked in a deep voice: "Are you the martyr who saved the county lord?"

Qi Xuansu was startled and asked: "County Lord...Qin Xiang?"

"Yes." The guard held up the reins and paused, "You cannot call the county master by his first name."

Qi Xuansu had no rebellious intentions, he just wanted to live, so he nodded in agreement.

After confirming Qi Xuansu's identity, the guard said: "The general knows that you saved the county lord and wants to see you. Please come with us."

Qi Xuansu didn't know where another general appeared from, but thinking of the Taoist flying boat he had seen before, he already had a guess and couldn't help but ask: "May I ask who this general is?"

"Our general is the Deputy Governor of Loulan of the Xizhou Protectorate. In accordance with the decree of the cabinet and the military order of the Protectorate, he led the army to wipe out the demons of Yongzhou." The guard's tone did not fluctuate.

Qi Xuansu weighed in his mind that it was very difficult for him to break out of the current situation. If he went to see the deputy governor, the fate would be unpredictable. However, he killed a sentry officer and saved a county lord. Which one is more important?

Qi Xuansu thought about it again and again, but still felt that the county master was more serious. He nodded and said: "Okay, I will let you go."

The guard signaled his entourage to give Qi Xuansu a new horse, and asked the commander who was held hostage by Qi Xuansu to ride back by himself, saying in a deep voice: "Please."
