Chapter 102 The Battle of Gaoping (4)
At this time, the north wind was getting stronger. Guo Rong looked towards the dusty Khitan camp and said, "Liu Chong was afraid of death and would not dare to lead his troops out of the camp personally. As long as the Khitan cavalry did not attack, the battle situation could be reversed... He sent the troops and passed my order to order Li Chongjinjian to block the Liao army and do not lose his position."
He turned to look at the Han army soldiers rushing towards the central army and said to Zhao Kuangyin: "Zhao Aiqing leads a thousand archers here to prevent the enemy's central army from attacking. The rest of the people followed me to help Gao Huaide kill the Han army..."
Just when he was about to urge the horse, Quanyi, the leader of the front hall, rode out, "We are still here, how can you let Your Majesty take risks? Please watch the battle for a while, and wait for the empress to lead the troops to slam his spirit." After saying that, he pulled out his sword and shouted to the three hundred imperial guards behind him: "All the soldiers and guards follow me to kill the enemy..."
At this time, many guards looked shocked, and Ma Renyu saw this and went out, raising his hips and shouting, "The master is humiliating his ministers to die, let alone such a dangerous situation. If we cannot solve the problem for the emperor, how can we be called the personal guards?"
After saying that, he rode his horse and led his bow to the riot army. He fired three arrows in a row, and the arrows were shot without any slightest, but he saw three Han soldiers falling to the ground. The guards behind the horse looked at each other, became bolder, drew their swords and rushed out, and followed the horse again into the formation.
Zhang Yongde looked at the Han army's central army, but he did not see the troops leaving the camp. He rode his horse to Zhao Kuangyin and said to the foreword: "The emperor expected that it is not bad. Liu Chong was afraid of death and dared not go out of the camp. At this time, he should take advantage of the situation to kill his left army and join Gao Huaide's troops. Our army still has 5,000 people, which will definitely be able to stop Zhang Yuanhui and turn defeat into victory. You can follow me to fight the enemy."
Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a moment, "But who will protect the emperor?"
"Everyone of the three hundred Shenhu camps and guards can get one to ten. With Mr. Jiang's skills, it should be safe for the time being. I have sent someone to the left army and asked Li Chongjin to lead a thousand soldiers to protect the carriage."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin looked at Jiang Qiubai, Shenhuwei and others beside Guo Rong, and nodded, "Okay, it should be the time now. You and I will lead a thousand rushing formations..."
…………
In the right army formation, Li Chongjin and Xiang Congzan and the others received the order from Guo Rong. They were shocked. Since they did not expect that Fan and the others would lead their troops to flee. Bai Congzan said anxiously: "If the Liao soldiers go out of the camp, it may be a bad thing. You should lead the troops forward. If the Liao soldiers rushed to the central army, it would be easier to stop..."
At this time, the Zhou army was deployed on the south side of the field, which was more than 70 meters long between the two formations, four miles away from the Liao camp, and the path in front of the village separated from the Liaozhai was also nearly three miles away. If the Liao soldiers were asked to sprint to the central army to the left, there would be no obstacles. Li Chongjin felt that it was reasonable, so he ordered the troops to cross the field to form a formation to defend.
The soldiers advanced to Li Yu, and had just stepped forward, but when they saw the gate of the Khitan camp opened and dust was flying, a group of people rushed out of the camp. Li Chongjin was shocked and was about to send an order to order the archers to meet the enemy, he saw two figures flashing out like lightning in the village nearly a hundred feet west of the Liao camp. The sword light in the air rose, and then he saw a cavalry falling off.
Immediately afterwards, more than a hundred people came out with bamboo sticks and rushed towards the Liao cavalry. Seeing that these people were dressed like beggars.
Bai and Li were surprised and wondered, and they didn't know where such people came from. But they saw one of the men, who was like a dragon, suddenly left and right, sometimes high and sometimes low, and swung their palms, causing the Liao soldiers to overturn their horses.
After being shocked and suspicious, Li Chongjin was happy again. However, when he was about to order the soldiers to come forward to help, he saw Zhang Yongde's messenger rushing towards him.
When Li Chongjin heard that Zhang Yongde was going to lead his troops to fight against the attack of the Han left army, he was shocked. He looked at the place where the central army was two miles away. He saw Zhang and Zhao and others had already taken the lead to the enemy, and there were only more than 300 people beside Guo Rong.
Li Chongjin's face changed drastically, "Master Bai, the emperor is in danger. You will lead two thousand soldiers to protect the carriage... I don't know who led these beggars. Seeing that they are all extraordinary, the Liao soldiers should be able to stop them for the time being. I will guard this place and support them on both sides."
Bai Congzan looked at the Liao army camp and looked at the central army again. Knowing that the protection of the troops was urgent, he led two thousand troops to the central army.
At this time, in the alley not far from the left, the leader of the archer who was ordered to lie on the roof and shoot the Liao soldiers, led four young men and women to come, one of whom was Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Kuangyi.
Li Chongjin was not surprised, but he didn't understand why Zhao Kuangyi appeared here. When he asked in front of him, he heard Zhao Kuangyi's introduction that the two 15 or 16-year-old boys in front of him were actually the uncles of Emperor Guo Rong, and he was stunned for a moment.
It turned out that the two brothers and sisters who were with Zhao Kuangyi were Meng Xiaohu and Chang Qingqing and Changshan. The ones who appeared to stop and kill the Khitan cavalry were more than a hundred beggars led by Luo Xiaoyao and Fang Changsheng.
When Luo Xiaoyao took Changshan, Meng Xiaohu and Mingwu separated, he returned to Fangzhou and gathered with Luo Hanshui for a few days, and went to the Medicine King Valley to visit Chang Qingqing.
A few days later, Chang Qingqing wanted to visit Fang Changsheng in Xiangzhou. Luo Xiaoyao was feeling sad because of Xiao Muyun's poisonous wounds, but he wanted to go out for a walk and relax, so he happily took Zhao Kuangyi, who also wanted to go back to visit his parents.
After arriving in Xiangzhou, they learned that the Liao and Han gangs attacked Luzhou. Meng Xiaohu and Changshan brothers and sisters remembered their parents' grudges and felt that the next school was successful and they wanted to go to Luzhou to help defend the city and kill the enemy.
Luo Xiaoyao and Fang Changsheng persuaded him to stop him, but they saw the three children being depressed, and Chang Qingqing even shed tears in secret. The two of them couldn't bear it in their hearts. Fang Changsheng gathered more than a hundred agile beggars to go with them.
But when they learned that the Liao and Han soldiers turned to attack Gaoping, they rushed to Gaoping. When they arrived at Bagongyuan, they met fleeing people and learned that the Han and Liao soldiers were stationed in the village of Bagongyuan. So Luo and Fang and the others lurked in the empty village next to the Liao camp, but they wanted to kill the large number of people and horses. After several discussions, they decided to set fire to the camp after dark. Unexpectedly, they accidentally encountered Guo Rong leading the troops to attack.
Luo Xiaoyao, who originally wanted to meet with Guo Rong, was stopped by Fang Changsheng. He was ambushing here as a surprise soldier and attacked the Liao soldiers unexpectedly. Just as Fang Changsheng thought, when the Liao cavalry left the camp, Luo Xiaoyao and Fang Changsheng led the beggars and released the poisonous snakes they carried, killing the Liao cavalry overturned the horses.
Changshan and Meng Xiaohu were escorted by Fang Changsheng to find Jiang Qiubai in the Zhou army. When passing by the house beside the field, they met the lurking Zhou soldiers and archers. Zhao Kuangyi reported his identity and was taken to Li Chong by the soldiers.
Fang Changsheng's cultivation level has been improving by leaps and bounds. He was in Guizhen for many years and was injured by Liu Gongwen. Fortunately, Gan Shaolong left him a large amount of "Guiyuan Pill". With the help of the "Guiyuan Pill", he soon entered the realm of divine thoughts. When Miao Changning was killed, he accidentally learned the nine-style palm techniques taught by Ling Buyi.
Fang Changsheng had not encountered good skills, so he had been stuck in the Guizhen Realm for nearly ten years. He learned Ling Buyi's skills, like a fish in water. In addition, when he was practicing, he was already in the realm of divine thoughts. After practicing hard for the past two years, he also entered the small achievement of the Baodan. Fang Changsheng himself couldn't believe that the speed of progress was so fast. He did not know that this palm technique was the unique skill of Ling Buyi, a martial arts genius Ling a hundred years ago.
When Luo Xiaoyao, Fang Changsheng and others led a group of beggars to block the Khitan cavalry, Yang Gun and Yan Zhongchang, who were watching the battle at the entrance of the camp, were shocked.
The reason why Yang Gun was shocked by Luo Xiaoyao's appearance was because he had seen Luo Xiaoyao when he was paying homage to Xiao Yanbei, and knew that the young man in front of him was the one who killed Liu Gongwen to avenge Xiao Yanbei.
In shock, he couldn't help but think that this person was a benefactor to the Xiao family. If he killed him, Xiao Siwen knew that it would be unfavorable to him in the future. However, he saw Luo Xiaoyao's sword energy magnificently, and the great man's palm aura was domineering, and the beggars were dancing in groups of snakes, and the cavalry were constantly injured and fell off the horse. Now more than 100 cavalry have been broken. If he lets him and the beggars rush forward, the 500 cavalrymen who came out of the camp may be killed.
While he was struggling, he thought that no one knew his identity at this moment. He killed him in the chaos. No one knew that even if Xiao Siwen pursued him in the future, he could say that he did not know Luo Xiaoyao's identity, let alone that he was the enemy and us in front of the two armies. Thinking of this, he said to the messenger beggars around him: "Blow the order of the cavalry to scatter back, and attack the archers, and attack the beggars in groups, waiting for their strength to be exhausted... and then step on them."
But even if he is an invincible martial arts master, he can't stop the attacks and killings of thousands of troops. However, before the command of the commander responded, he heard Yan Zhongchang say, "Let's wait..."
Yan Zhongchang was able to recover from Mingwu's help. Although Master Lejue inferred that the power of the catastrophe would be broken soon, the outcomes of the two were very different. The reason is that he could learn from the realm of the golden body. If he was slowly treated with the "Lion Roar", even if he was cured, he would have no hope of entering the threshold of the golden body in his life.
This was a recreation of kindness for Yan Zhongchang, but he survived the disaster. After he recovered, his mood changed greatly. He knew that Mingwu saved him, which had a lot to do with Luo Xiaoyao and Chu Nanfeng, and he had already felt grateful to Luo Xiaoyao. Although the two armies were in the face of each other, it was impossible for him to let Luo Xiaoyao die or be injured in front of him.
"Oh? Why?" Yang Gun was surprised. He didn't know that Yan Zhongchang knew Luo Xiaoyao and had complicated relationships.
"The young man who used the sword had great kindness with Mr. Xiao's family... He killed Liu Gongwen that day to avenge Tong Xiao."
"Ah?" Yang Gun pretended not to know.
"Last year, Mr. Luo went to Mr. Xiao's mansion and heard that Mr. Xiao had betrothed Miss Xiao Er to him."
Yang Gun was shocked when he heard this. He thought that no one in the army knew Luo Xiaoyao's identity, so he became determined to kill him. Now Yan Zhongchang has identified his origin. Not only did Yu Xiao's family benevolence, but also Xiao Siwen's future sister-in-law. Yang Gun changed his mind quickly, "The two armies are in the battle, and each is their own leader. I think it's Xiao's consort who knows it, will he not be blamed?"
Yan Zhongchang was only responsible for protecting the safety of the commander, and he had no right to interfere in how to march and fight. He then made clear the origin of Luo Xiaoyao, and only wanted Yang Gun to be afraid and dare not hurt Luo Xiaoyao.
But if Yang Gun ordered the killing of Luo Xiaoyao as the two armies was hostile, it would be understandable. He had to remain silent when he heard this. However, he was thinking about waiting for Luo Xiaoyao to have danger and rescue him. He thought that Yang Gun would not dare to say anything at that time.
Yang Gun said something that was tempting. Seeing that Yan Zhongchang was silent, his face looked solemn, he hesitated. Now Yan Zhongchang made it clear that if he insisted on killing Luo Xiaoyao, he would have offended Xiao Siwen thoroughly. In addition, Xiao Yanbei's Yu Ze in the army, someone might take the opportunity to retaliate in the future. Not only will the official position be protected, but he will be in danger of life.
Thinking of this, the topic changed, "The Northern Han Emperor thought he was self-righteous, and my general advised him not to listen. It would be better to let him suffer some losses, so as not to look down on my Liao generals in the future.
But letting this young master surnamed Luo kill our soldiers at will, wouldn’t it make Zhou soldiers think that there is no one in the Liao Dynasty? It would be better for Mr. Yan to let someone take action to control him. My commander ordered the cavalry to assist the Han Dynasty and would give him an explanation to the court and Prince Xiao in the future."
When Yan Zhongchang heard that he said this, he gave Xiao Siwen a great affection and invisibly gave him a step. But he thought that it would be impossible for him to directly dissuade Luo Xiaoyao and stop. However, the Zhou army had retreated and he was killed with 30,000 Northern Han soldiers and horses, but he thought that he had no chance to turn defeat into victory.
If Luo Xiaoyao is held back and wait until Zhou's army is defeated, he will come forward to persuade him to retreat. At that time, the situation is over. Luo Xiaoyao thought he would retreat. When his thoughts turned here, he worshiped the guard house behind him: "Mr. Jin, you three of you will stop Mr. Luo, but don't hurt him. Yan will deal with the man with his palm... Huh?"
The reason why Yan Zhongchang said "Huh" was surprised that Fang Changsheng ran towards the place where the central army was fighting between his words.
It turned out that the Khitan cavalry were injured by the poisonous snakes in the hands of the beggars. They were frightened and they were already running around. In addition, there were people on the ground, and the roads were blocked. The remaining nearly 400 cavalry had to retreat. Yang Gun had not ordered infantry assistance, so the pressure from Luo, Fang and other beggars was greatly reduced.
Luo Xiaoyao was a little excited and looked eastward, but saw a group of troops rushing out of the Han camp Central Army. Guo Rong was only two or three hundred people beside him in the melee of the chaos. He was shocked. With the sound of "swoosh, swoosh", he raised his sword and slashed the cold arrows flying. At the same time, the opponent Changsheng said: "Senior Fang, go to the central army to help the emperor and uncle Jiang..."
"But here the Liao soldiers are strong... how do you deal with it alone?"
Luo Xiaoyao jumped in front of him, slashing the cold arrow shot from Fang Changsheng when he was distracted. "Senior, go first, your palm technique is very powerful, but you can be as powerful as a guard."
Luo Xiaoyao asked Fang Changsheng to help Guo Rong, not only because his palm power was as powerful as a man who could not open ten thousand men. The most important thing was that Luo Xiaoyao also saw Yan Zhongchang in the camp, but he thought that he and Fang Changsheng had killed many Liao soldiers, but Yan Zhongchang did not take action. He thought that he had brought Ming to save him. He was not a person who wanted to repay kindness, but the situation was critical and he guessed that he would leave him to block his opponent, which might delay the Liao army's offensive.
Fang Changsheng was hesitating and listened to Luo Xiaoyao, who was wielding his sword to kill the enemy, shouting: "If I have danger, I will retreat to the central army and meet with my senior..."
"Okay," Fang Changsheng shouted without hesitation: "Brothers, protect Mr. Luo." As soon as he finished speaking, he was five feet away.
Seeing Fang Changsheng leaving, Yan Zhongchang also withdrew his idea of taking action and rode with Yang Gun to watch the battle.
At this time, two Liao soldiers were getting up from the ground where the people were overturned and rushed towards Luo Xiaoyao with their swords fearlessly.
Luo Xiaoyao snorted coldly, pulled his right hand and the sword energy came out. Suddenly, three figures came from the air, and three sharp sword energy shot at each other. In a frightened state, he quickly changed his moves and refused to fight. With the sound of "Dangdang", he was forced to take two steps. Even so, the two Liao soldiers were still injured by the sword energy before his moves.
When Luo Xiaoyao Dingqing saw that the three people who had blocked each other also knew each other. They were the guards who met Xiao Yanbei on the envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty when they met Xiao Yanbei.
After the three of them joined forces to force Luo Xiaoyao to escape, they were shocked. With their eyesight, they could see that Luo Xiaoyao had entered the realm of the elixir. Because of Yan Zhongchang's instructions, they also knew the relationship between Luo Xiaoyao and the Xiao family. When they took action, they only used 60% of their strength.
If it is said that the three divine thoughts are 60% powerful, it should be able to force Luo Xiaoyao to retreat one or two feet. But Luo Xiaoyao not only took only two steps, but also injured the two cavalry at lightning speed when the three men came to attack.
The three of them looked at each other in a frightened state. One of the worshipers who used the knife clasped their fists and said, "Prince Luo, the two armies are fighting, Yang and others are ordered to do things, if there is any..."
Luo Xiaoyao, whose robe was covered in blood, was already full of blood and said in a flash: "Each person is his master, I understand. Today I will learn about the three masters..."
Suddenly, three beggars came up behind him to help the battle. Luo Xiaoyao said in a deep voice and said, "Get off."
After saying that, the energy changed and a sword stabbed out. It was the "Kanglong Buyu" of the Xingsu Sword Technique. Suddenly, the sharp sword energy hit the three guards' enshrined offerings with the sound of the sword roar of the water dragon.
The three surnamed Yang were shocked and at the same time, they used moves to block each other. With a "dang" sound, three swords and one sword intersected. Luo Xiaoyao took a step back and stopped his body. However, the three of them also took a step back. It was not that Luo Xiaoyao's aura could surpass the joint efforts of the three of them, but that they were shocked by Luo Xiaoyao's sword move and retreated on their own.
These three worshippers had fought with Chu Nanfeng in the Guardian, but they never expected that Luo Xiaoyao would be the descendant of Chu Nanfeng. The three of them had already learned the wonders of Chu Nanfeng's sword moves. They looked at each other and attacked at the same time. The three of them practiced sword attacks, advancing and retreating at the same time, in order to compete with those who have higher cultivation than themselves. Now they put away their contempt and attacked, and their power should not be underestimated.
Luo Xiaoyao did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly used a move of "Hua Guang Mian". In an instant, a radius of light appeared. "Dang, Dang" sounded several times, and the four of them separated and attacked again.
Although the three of them joined forces to defeat Luo Xiaoyao, they were afraid that they would hurt him in the end. When they attacked with all their strength, they would lose their remaining energy. Luo Xiaoyao had a "Tian Silkworm Body" physique with endless energy. For a moment, he actually fought with the three Yang surnamed Yang to match the chess and drums.
At this time, the beggars looked at each other and retreated to more than 20 feet, holding bamboo sticks in hand. The Liao soldiers in front of the camp more than 100 feet away were watching the four people fighting, and they had no intention of attacking. If the big battlefield was like a ring.
Li Chongjin and others in the Zhou Bing formation were also stunned and did not understand what was going on for a moment, so that Changshan and Xiaohu and the other four ran towards Fang Changsheng without even realizing it.
It turned out that when Fang Changsheng was moving towards Guo Rong, he passed the Han army camp, but he was within the range of the arrows, which caused the arrows in the camp to shoot at him like locusts. Fang Changsheng paused, raised his palm and slapped it out, and the flying arrows fell one after another. The Han army was shocked, but they shot in turn, and the rain of arrows was suddenly filled with "swooshing" sound.
Changshan and Meng Xiaohu were already in the Guyuan Great Realm at this time, but seeing Fang Changsheng's majestic slap in the flying arrows, he rushed forward with his weapons and swords. Chang Qingqing and Zhao Kuangyi followed along the route outside the range. After Li Chongjin found out, he was shocked and did not dare to leave the military formation. He had to order a few guards to rush to protect Chang Qingqing and Zhao Kuangyi.
Fang Changsheng could have left quickly, but when he saw Meng Xiaohu and his two rushing towards him with swords and swords, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and said while slapped the flying arrows, "Get out quickly..."
When Jiang Qiubai was in mid-air, two green lines suddenly flashed, passing through Guo Rong's mount, in a flash, but when a crisp sound was heard, the long sword thrown out shot down the flying arrow three feet in front of Guo Rong. Then he heard Zhang Yuanhui's mount cry, and his front hooves fell down, and actually lifted Zhang Yuanhui out of the horse's back and rolled to the ground.
Chapter completed!
