Chapter 2: Bloodshed on the battlefield and escape from the Immortal Gate
Chapter 131 Massacre
Jiang Meiliang led 50,000 cavalry. If he wanted to annihilate these 50,000 reinforcements, it would not be that simple to resolve the battle quickly. After all, even splitting 50,000 pieces of wood would take time.
But if you can make a surprise attack, quickly defeat the opponent's defense, and use the advantage of cavalry to charge into the enemy's formation, it will be easy.
Jiang Meiliang had obviously planned ahead. When he destroyed the Wu Army's supplies, he deliberately left some of the Wu Army's military uniforms. Now he bypassed the Wu Army's cavalry and immediately pretended to be the Wu Army's cavalry unit.
After marching in a hurry, they saw Wu Jun's reinforcements three days later.
This Wu army was of extremely high quality, but in just ten days, it had traveled more than 1,500 miles. When they saw the cavalry led by Jiang Meiliang, they subconsciously thought that their own troops had returned, and they did not send out scouts in time to confirm.
, just move forward as quickly as possible and prepare to join forces.
Unfortunately, the 50,000 Wu army was scattered before they could react. The 50,000 cavalry were like a tiger among the sheep. Two people charged, and not many people were left alive.
Jiang Jun was fighting alone behind enemy lines. He did not even give Wu Jun a chance to surrender. 50,000 people were slaughtered in less than half an hour. After replenishing himself, a fire burned all the supplies.
After the great victory, Jiang Meiliang did not lead his army into the depths of the desert, but instead advanced towards the Wu army's camp again. Two days later, more than 300 miles away from the Wu army's camp, the army lurked.
Jiang Meiliang is indeed a talented general, and annihilating 50,000 infantry reinforcements is not her goal at all. What she really wants to deal with is Wu's 200,000 cavalry.
The Wu army, which had not received any supplies or reinforcements, had already run out of food yesterday. If it hadn't been for the fact that they were not far from the camp and persisted with faith, they would have started killing horses to satisfy their hunger.
At this time, three riders were galloping along the official road, and a voice like a silver bell came from afar:
"Brother Jian Sheng, Longquan Station is ahead of us. Let's take a break before leaving!"
"Okay! Thank you sister Yan'er for your understanding!"
The three riders were all fire dragon ponies, and they were extremely fast. They arrived in front of Longquanyi as soon as they spoke.
The three of them got off the fire dragon colt. They were preceded by a handsome young man in brocade clothes, next to him was an extremely beautiful girl, and closely behind them was a young man with a majestic appearance.
The young man in jinyi raised his hand and threw out a seal. The postmaster had already come out to greet him. He stretched out his hand to seal the seal. He just glanced at it and immediately became respectful, bowed and welcomed the three of them into the pergola tea seat.
"No need to be polite, just bring a pot of herbal tea. We will leave after taking a while."
Seeing that the postmaster was arranging the guards of the posthouse to prepare a rest room, the young man in brocade clothes smiled slightly and said kindly.
"Yes, sir! You are going to Jianya to attend the preaching conference!"
"Well! How is the situation in Jianya this year!"
"According to the news from Jianya, the number of monks who have arrived at noon is already close to 3,000. According to the data from previous years, this year it will probably exceed 10,000."
“So lively!”
"Yes! It is said that many monks did not participate in the last missionary day because they were worried about getting into trouble. Naturally, there are more people this time. Even Tiangang Academy, which rarely participated, sent dozens of monks this time."
"Oh! Is Tiangang Academy here too?"
"Yes! They are heading to Jianya from this station. They left less than two quarters of an hour ago. They should have just arrived at the foot of Jianya Mountain!"
"I wonder if Miss Ziyun is here, she hasn't been seen for five years."
The young man in brocade suddenly said with emotion.
"Huh! People come here often, but some of them have been in seclusion for five years and haven't seen me yet."
The pretty girl said with a serious look on her face, she looked unhappy and a little bit a little bit disgusted.
"That's true! Fortunately, our brothers finally succeeded in building the foundation, otherwise we would have been very embarrassed during our five-year appointment."
The young man in brocade clothes was obviously an exquisite person. He held the girl's weak and boneless catkins in his hands and said somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"Well! Brother Sheng, there is no need to belittle oneself. It is said that Bai Ziyun just established her foundation and left seclusion a year ago. Her senior brother Jin Zenan also disappeared suddenly four years ago. No one knows where he went. It is estimated that he will not be there this time.
Come on."
"Oh! There is such a thing!"
"Yan'er, here comes the tea. Let's drink a bowl of herbal tea to relieve the heat!"
While the two were chatting, herbal tea was served. The Xuanang young man took out the silver needle and tried it, then poured three bowls and said.
"Thank you, brother Feiyang!"
The girl smiled sweetly and said to the proud young man.
At first, the arrogant young man's face looked a little unnatural, but the girl's charming smile made his face brighten instantly. He raised his hand and drank the herbal tea in the bowl in one gulp.
"Not good! The tea is poisonous!"
As soon as the girl took a sip, she stood up with a roar and shouted:
"you wanna die!"
"Hehehe, it's too late! I've been hit by Zuixian Powder, let's see how you show off your power."
Yi Cheng smiled proudly and sinisterly, patted the storage bag on his waist, and a flying sword flew out. After a short circle, he went straight to kill the girl.
"No!"
The high-spirited young man had also drank the tea and could not bring himself to regain any vitality. However, seeing that the girl was in danger, he did not hesitate to rush forward and block her in front of her.
A sound of gold and iron was heard immediately. It was obvious that the young man was wearing a very powerful protective magic weapon. However, because there was no blessing of true energy, the flying sword still penetrated him. However, Yi Zhang's cultivation was obviously not high and he could not control the flying sword.
The sword penetrated and came out, and the flying sword could only be withdrawn.
Yi Zhang waved his hands repeatedly, pinched a spell, and the flying sword circled and shot out again. At this time, another young man in brocade clothes also reacted and blocked the girl.
The postmaster's expression changed slightly, and the flying sword bypassed the slow-moving young man in brocade clothes with just a flick of the sword, and went straight to the girl's eyebrows to kill him.
"Yan'er!"
The high-spirited young man, who had been severely injured and fell to the ground and was dying, only had time to let out a cry of grief, and two big tears rolled down.
The girl's zhenqi could not be activated, and without any cultivation, she could not avoid this fatal sword. She could only look at the young man in brocade clothes who were stunned at the side and the dignified young man lying in a pool of blood in despair.
The desperate expression and big tears of the proud young man made her heart feel a severe pain, but she knew that this might be the last scene in her life.
"Ding!"
At this critical moment, a white light suddenly flashed, and with a soft cry, the flying sword exploded with a bang.
"Who is it! How dare you ruin your uncle's affairs!"
He slapped the young man in brocade clothes who was blocking him away with one palm and said angrily.
"Hmph! That's a bit brave!"
Just as Yi Cheng finished speaking, a young man in black came from a distance with lightning. He arrived before the person arrived, so he could be said to have taken the lead.
