He looked at the entrance of the valley with a ugly face. After a while, Diao Yingxiang took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "All the generals obey the orders, I am going to enter the valley to investigate. If I haven't come out for an incense stick of time, you will order the withdrawal of troops. However, remember to be careful of the enemy's pursuit."

"General!" The generals couldn't help but shouted anxiously with a change in expression.

One of the middle-aged generals even said directly: "General Diao, I don't know what the enemy situation is in the valley. You are the chief general in the army and you should not take risks without authorization. If any accident occurs, how can I explain to the marshal when I go back?"

"Yes! General Diao, I think we should withdraw our troops first!" A veteran with gray hair and over fifties hurriedly advised.

Listening to their words, many young generals frowned slightly, and even two young men wanted to go to the valley to investigate with Diao Yingxiang to make a decision.

"I have made up my mind, so I don't need to say more," Diao Yingxiang, who glanced at the generals and finally paused on the two young generals, said directly: "You two, follow me into the valley to investigate. The other generals will lead their troops back a mile!"

Under the different eyes of the other generals, the two young generals responded with excitement and surprise and respectfully, and rode their horses towards the valley with Diao Yingxiang.

"It's good to be young! Young people dare to take risks and fight!" The gray-haired veteran shook his head and said softly as if he sighed.

The generals who sighed helplessly turned their heads and said, "Go! Retreat for one mile!"

While the army slowly retreated for a mile, Diao Yingxiang and the other two rode their horses into the valley.

The mountain wind in the valley was so cold that the sky was gray, and even the surrounding barren mountains were blurred. There was no trace of a soldier from Xiliang.

"Be careful! Don't be careless!" Diao Yingxiang, who slowed down, and moved slowly with the two young generals behind him in a shape of a font, one in front and two behind, approaching the depths of the valley.

Soon, the dust in the surrounding air became thicker, and the surrounding scenery was even impossible to see clearly.

"No!" Diao Yingxiang, who murmured, seemed to think of something, quickly waved his hand and stopped. He looked at the surroundings and looked at the faces of his face solemnly: "We are probably entering a formation."

When the two young generals heard this, their faces changed. They were in the army, especially the Tang army attacked here, and they also encountered some formations. They naturally understood the terribleness of these formations.

"General, what should I do?" One of the young generals was a little panicked and hurriedly looked at Diao Yingxiang.

Looking alertly at Diao Yingxiang around him, he said calmly and in a deep voice: "Don't panic! Don't get lost. Let's first respond to changes with the same change. See what's wrong with this formation."

"Yes!" The two young generals who responded were also alert and careful to pay attention to the surroundings.

In such a tense atmosphere, there were no other sounds in the valley except for the faint sound of the wind and the sound of the three of them slowly becoming heavy.

I don’t know how long it took, when even the young general was sweating on his forehead and panic in his heart, a faint roar of beasts sounded, and then there was a rapid sound of breaking through the air.

"Hmm?" One of the young generals who seemed to see a phantom flashing through the gray air suddenly turned his head, but the trace of the phantom disappeared. While he was confused and nervous, the inexplicable sense of crisis made him turn his head and look to the other side.

However, the young general who had just turned his head felt dark before his eyes. The next moment, a cold light suddenly appeared, and the moment it disappeared, a stinging pain came from his chest. The young general who subconsciously looked down and saw a black arc-shaped sword light flashing out of his chest, and a blood light penetrated into the horse's belly.

Whoosh... A black afterimage flew past under the horse's belly, and a sharp cold light passed through the war horse under the seat of another young general. With a shrill neighing sound, the young general was immediately thrown out of the horse's back by the sudden war horse and landed on the ground in a mess.

As soon as the soles of his feet landed on the ground, the young general had not yet stood firm, a sharp claw streaked across his neck, bringing up a few blood marks, and blood spurted away the ferocious wound that tore half of his neck.

The young general, who had not even screamed, suddenly his body softened and his eyes widened and his eyes fell to the ground, bringing up dust. There was still a trace of fear and reluctance in his eyes that were wide and his spirit quickly disappeared.

"Huh?" Diao Yingxiang suddenly turned his head to look at him, and his eyes vaguely caught a phantom flashing along the ground and towards him. Subconsciously, he lowered his head and saw that the horse's hooves tied up by a black chain under his seat, which was tied with a black chain and fell to the ground with the chain tense instantly. A horse's leg flew into the gray air with dazzling blood.

Diao Yingxiang, who was leaping up in a hurry, fell on the ground in a mess, and heard the sound of breaking through the air in his ears, and the almost conditioned reflexive sword in his hand slashed backwards like blocking.

Kneel... The sound of metal and iron fighting sounded, and a human-shaped beast shadow flew away and disappeared, and the blood-red claws remained dazzling.

The surroundings became quiet again. Diao Yingxiang's eyes swept around. The scene that caught his eyes was that two of the three war horses had their stomachs cut open, and their internal organs and blood flowed out along the wound. The other war horse with one leg torn off was also torn apart, and they were all twitching and about to die. In addition, it was the corpse of the young general who fell to the ground and the blood dyed the ground dark red, and the other young general who fell on the ground with a hideous wound, which was also bleeding from his neck.

"Bastard!" Diao Yingxiang, whose eyes turned red, couldn't help but look at him and frowned and roared: "What kind of hero is hidden? If you have the ability, come out and fight me Diao Yingxiang to the death!"

As soon as Diao Yingxiang finished speaking, the crisp sound of horse hooves came from far to near, which made him suddenly turn his head and grit his teeth and look over.

In the dusty mist, a magical war horse came with elegant steps. A young general on the horse was dressed in military uniform and holding a bright silver spear, and was extremely heroic.

"Yang Fan!" Diao Yingxiang, who saw clearly the appearance of the visitor, immediately the enemy immediately gritted his teeth and growled in jealousy when they met.

Seeing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but smiled lightly and casually, "Diao Yingxiang. Don't look like you have a deep hatred with me. Oh, by the way, we do have a hatred. National hatred! You traitor, you want to attack my Baihu Pass, and you really don't have any shame. Since that's the case, the general will fulfill your wishes and send you to the Jiuquan to apologize with my previous kings of Xiliang all the time!"

"Yang Fan, I'll kill you!" After Yang Fan's words, Diao Yingxiang was so angry that he was about to burst into anger. He roared with red eyes and rushed towards Yang Fan.

Seeing this, Yang Fan, who was sneering in his eyes, shook his right arm, and the silver spear in his hand swept out like a silver dragon. With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, Diao Yingxiang's violent blow burst out with all his might, and the tip of the spear spear was loosened and stabbed Diao Yingxiang's chest.

Wow... The harsh sound of breaking through the air sounded, and a white light penetrated the gray mist and directly hit the barrel of the bright silver spear, which affected the sharp attack of the spear in an instant. The spear tip struck Diao Yingxiang's waist.

"Arrow through the cloud?" Seeing the white arrow transformed by the white sharp light, Yang Fan couldn't help but look slightly dark.

With the sound of breaking through the air, Xue Dingshan, who was stepping on the shield, flew away from the mist in the distance in the blink of an eye.

Yang Fan, whose eyes were narrowed, shook his arms, and the spear in his hand suddenly pulled back, trying to cut open Diao Yingxiang's chest.

However, Diao Yingxiang was not a vegetarian. He reacted almost at the same time. He could avoid the attack with a moving figure. But unexpectedly, his arm hit the other side of the tip of the gun, and a "swish" sound. The sharp gun blade actually cut off Diao Yingxiang's entire arm and sprayed blood out.

"Ah!" Diao Yingxiang, who screamed and staggered back, was held by Xue Dingshan who was dodging to the ground, and tore open the corner of his battle robe and wrapped his broken arm around him.

Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Xue Dingshan and Diao Yingxiang with a sneer: "Diao Yingxiang, you are lucky! However, Xue Dingshan, you are really stupid. In order to save Diao Yingxiang, you actually trapped yourself in the formation. Now, I see how you leave."

"Yang Fan, we always have a time to decide our lives and death, so let's go!" He looked at Xue Dingshan of Yang Fan coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, he flew up with Diao Yingxiang and flew towards the mist in the distance with his shield.

Yang Fan, who looked at this scene with a sneer, had a slightly slight change in his face: "Hmm? How could it be? How could Xue Dingshan find out where the Shengmen is? Did he happen to be right?"

Outside the valley, the more than ten Tang generals saw Diao Yingxiang unable to wait for a long time and were ready to withdraw their troops.

At this moment, with the sound of breaking through the air, Xue Dingshan stepped on his shield and flew out of the valley with Diao Yingxiang. In the blink of an eye, he came to the generals and fell to the ground. The shield under his feet quickly shrank into a stream of light and penetrated into his body.

"Master Xue?" Several of the generals recognized Xue Dingshan at a glance, and they couldn't help but shouted in surprise.

Xue Dingshan looked at Diao Yingxiang's pale face, frowned and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, General Diao is injured, withdraw his troops!"

The generals looked at each other and quickly turned the horse head and changed the front team and led their troops to retreat.

Xue Dingshan took the lead and took Diao Yingxiang to fly back to Xuanwu Pass. However, he did not fly far away, and saw the huge military camp that was building on the ground below, and couldn't help but fly down with a look.

The imperial army was stationed in the military camp. In the tent of the central army commander, Li Luanhu sat high above the main seat, Xue Rengui and Cheng Yaojin sat at the first place on both sides, and the generals of the Tang army gathered together.

"Report! General Xue, the vanguard of the left, asked to see the marshal!" A messenger hurried in to report.

Li Luanhu, whose eyes shrank, said directly: "Let him come in!"

The messenger retreated, and soon Xue Dingshan, dressed in military uniform, entered the commander's tent, which attracted the generals to turn their heads and look. Facing the different gazes of the generals, Xue Dingshan bowed to Li Luanhu with a calm expression: "The last general will pay homage to the marshal!"

"Haha, General Xue! With you coming to help me, I am like a tiger with wings!" Looking at Li Luanhu who was slightly silent for a while, she suddenly stood up and walked towards Xue Dingshan with a smile, reached out and patted Xue Dingshan on the shoulder and said, "We must work together in the future to make achievements for our Tang Dynasty."

Xue Dingshan looked up at Li Luanhu and smiled slightly: "I hope to follow the marshal to make contributions to the Tang Dynasty and be loyal to the emperor!"

"Okay! General Xue, please sit down!" Li Luanhu, who turned back to the coach's seat, couldn't help but look at Xue Dingshan, who was sitting in Xue Rengui's empty seat, and said with a flash of eyes: "General Xue, I heard from Marshal Xue that you are going to pick up General Diao. How is it? What's the situation?"

"Return to Marshal! General Diao led his army to a valley entrance. When he encountered a formation blocking the road, he lost hundreds of soldiers and several generals. Even General Diao himself was seriously injured and broke his arm. If the Mo General had not arrived in time, he would have been afraid that General Diao would die in the formation," Xue Dingshan hurriedly said.

Li Luanhu browed when he heard this: "Oh? Formation? What kind of formation is it? It's so powerful?"

"If the last general is not wrong, it should be the monster Seven Killing Formation!" Xue Dingshan pondered.

Xue Rengui frowned: "Monster Seven Killing Formation?"

"That's right! It's an extremely special and strange formation," Xue Dingshan nodded.

Li Luanhu's eyes flashed slightly and said, "General Xue, you seem to have some understanding of this formation. I wonder if there is a way to crack it?"

"Marson! The monster seven killing formation is an auxiliary of a maze formation, cooperating with the masters in the formation to attack and kill. Ordinary troops will be swallowed as much as they enter, and they will die. Even a general with high martial arts skills will not last long in the face of continuous attacks and killings." Xue Dingshan said continuously: "How to break the formation. At present, there is no good way for the last general. The marshal is under the Golden Axe Heavenly Lord and has extraordinary experience. I wonder if there is a way to break this formation?"

Li Luanhu, who was led by Xue Dingshan, stopped slightly, and then shook his head and said, "The family master is not good at formations, so my general's understanding of formations is even more limited. However, General Xue seems to have learned the formation method with Beihai Shendao. Even if he does not have the method of breaking the formation, he should have some methods to deal with the formation, right?"

"Although the last general has learned some formation methods, he is just a rough way of getting the fur," Xue Dingshan waved his hand.

Li Luanhu narrowed his eyes and said, "General Xue can rescue General Diao Yingxiang from the formation. This is not as simple as rough formation. General Xue, now that the enemy is in front of you, you can't hide your own private interests!"

"Don't worry, Marshal Li! If a child has this ability, he will have no choice but to define it!" Xue Rengui hurriedly bowed to Li Luanhu without waiting for Xue Dingshan to speak.

Xue Dingshan also nodded and said, "Marson, although the last general cannot break the formation, he can see where the birth sect is. As long as the formation sect does not change, the last general will be able to recognize the birth sect in a short time. However, if he goes deep into the formation, it is hard to say."

"Very good! This is good news for us," Li Luanhu said with a gaze: "General Xue, then when the two armies fight again, I will look at your means. As long as you can kill the masters responsible for attacking within that formation, the monster Seven Killing Formation can only be considered a maze formation, and its power is much smaller."

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but frown and said, "This is a bit difficult! Yang Fan is not stupid either. How could he let us kill his masters? Once they encounter danger, they will definitely retreat into the depths of the formation. Then we cannot continue to chase after them. Otherwise, being trapped in it will be troublesome."

"So, we must act neatly!" Li Luanhu's eyes swept over the generals with sharp eyes: "Gather all the masters to enter the formation, don't have any idea of ​​keeping your hands. Take all your strength, even if you can't kill all those masters, you can at least kill half or even most of them."

When the generals heard this, their eyes suddenly nodded secretly, and they understood Li Luanhu's thoughts.

Fan Long suddenly said, "Marson, this idea is good. However, there were many injured masters in the army before, so our staff might not be enough!"

"No hurry!" Li Luanhu said confidently: "Anyway, our food route is smooth. After capturing several passes, we can afford to get a lot of military rations. Next, we will wait for the injured General Shan Ximu and General Qin and Han to recover from their injuries. It is not too late to take action. Moreover, the soldiers fought for years and conquered Qinglong, Zhuque and other passes, and were also very tired, just for the soldiers to accumulate strength."

When the generals heard this, they looked at Li Luanhu with a little surprise. Unexpectedly, he, who has always liked to fight speed wars, would have such a decision. Even Xue Rengui and Xue Dingshan and his son were surprised.

"Come here, send orders to rest and the army will rest. Scouts will be sent to closely monitor Yang Fan's movements. In addition, it is a happy thing for Marshal Xue and General Xue to return to the army. Let Huotou Camp prepare a banquet, and I want to welcome them!" Li Luanhu said loudly regardless of what the generals thought.

...

In Baihu Pass, in the spacious hall of Yang Mansion, Yang Fan, who was sitting high above the main seat, heard the Tang army movements reported by the scout kneeling on one knee below, and couldn't help but frowned slightly and showed an unexpected look: "Don't hold on?"

"Okay, you go back!" Yang Fan, who was pondering slightly, waved his hand to let the scout retreat.

After the scout stepped back, Yang Fan was holding a teacup in his hand and frowned and fell into deep thought.

Time passed, and I don’t know how long it took, as a burst of crisp footsteps came, Yang Fan, who seemed to be conscious, looked up and saw Fan Lihua wearing white clothes, as if she was walking in from outside.

"Pear Blossom!" Yang Fan, whose eyes lit up, couldn't help but stand up to greet him with joy.

Fan Lihua looked at Yang Fan with a faint smile: "Yang Fan, I didn't disturb you, right?"

"No, how could that happen?" Yang Fan said with a smile: "I said, you can treat this place as your own home, what's the point of disturbing me? Besides, Tang Jun was scared by my monster Seven Killing Formation and was holding his troops still, and he couldn't say that I would be much more relaxed next."

When Fan Lihua heard this, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly: "Oh? Did the Tang army stop moving?"

"That's right! This is the news that the scout just came. Tang Jun took a defensive posture, as if he wanted to fight attrition with me," Yang Fan shook his head and sneered slightly, then hesitated a little and said: "By the way, I saw Xue Dingshan today. He broke into the formation and rescued Diao Yingxiang, who was trapped in the formation and almost killed by me."

Fan Lihua's pretty face changed and she hurriedly said, "Has he entered the monster Seven Killing Formation? Have you trapped him, or...?"

"He rescued the person and escaped!" Looking at Fan Lihua's obviously anxious look, Yang Fan couldn't help but shook his head with a little bitterness and helplessness in his heart: "That boy seems to have some understanding of my monster Seven Killing Formation, and he can actually see where the birth gate is. However, he should have limited understanding and cannot break my monster Seven Killing Formation."

Fan Lihua felt relieved in her heart. Looking at Yang Fan's confident look, she couldn't help but say, "Yang Fan, don't be too careless. There are many capable people in the Tang army, and maybe someone can break your monster Seven Killing Formation."

"Haha, Lihua, as long as you don't take action, the people in the Tang army will never be able to break my monster Seven Killing Formation," Yang Fan smiled as soon as he heard it. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
