When Zhang Di decided to lead the crowd to escape, Hua Rong and Qiao Daoqing were guarding above. The pressure suddenly increased. They saw a group of thieves screaming and rushing towards them like wolves and pigs. After a while, they were far away from each other.
The distance out of the valley entrance is less than a hundred steps away.
Hua Rong's eyes were focused, and he showed off his skill of shooting arrows. He saw Hua Rong pick up the bow, set the arrow, and let go of the string in one go. His eyes were sharp and his hands were quick! The seven sharp arrows that were loosed from the string spread out as if they had eyes.
The seven thieves at the front were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and were buried in the crowd rushing up from behind.
When Hua Rong was nodding another arrow, he shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"
"Swish, swish, swish!" messy sounds broke through the air one after another, and only a row of scattered arrows were shot at the running thieves. After all, the number of officers and soldiers guarding the entrance of the valley was too small, and most of them were horses without crossbows.
The army simply cannot suppress the enemy's charge with long-range attacks.
When a group of thieves rushed forward another forty or fifty steps, and could almost see their ferocious faces clearly, Qiao Daoqing suddenly became wise. He took two steps forward, glared and cursed: "You ordinary people dare to make mistakes! Please look at me.
Divine soldiers descend from heaven to kill you and other rebellious people!!"
After saying that, Qiao Daoqing took out a few talismans from his arms and threw them to the thieves. He pointed at them from a distance, and the talismans ignited phosphorus fire out of thin air. Qiao Daoqing muttered again, stretched out his hand to squeeze a few magic spells, then covered his mouth and waited for the halberd.
When he pointed at the bandit, a ball of blazing fire came out of his mouth!
The running thieves saw the strange scene in front of them, and they were frightened to stop. Qiao Daoqing swallowed the ball of flames again! When Qiao Daoqing spit out the ball of fire from his mouth again, there was another burst of fire on the ground.
A burst of black smoke swept in, and there was a loud noise all around, like thunder and lightning, and the sound of the sky falling and the earth cracking!
The thieves in southern Hebei really thought that the man in front of them had great magical powers. Seeing that he breathed fire and swallowed flames, and seemed to be able to control the wind and rain, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. He inevitably collided with the surging accomplices, and the crowd was crowded in an instant.
People bumped heads against each other, and there was endless howling and screaming!
It turns out that Qiao Daoqing was called the "Illusion Demon Lord" in the world because when he was young, he traveled to Kongtong Mountain and met a stranger who taught him "illusion magic." The magic trick was actually a form of alchemy that had been passed down from the Zhou Dynasty in China.
In the biographies of alchemy in the history books of the past, there are records of various illusions such as "spitting fire and cutting tongues", "changing oxen and horses' heads", "squeezing mud into pigs", "taking earth to form mountains", etc. It can be said that it is a kind of blind trick.
, and according to the current understanding, it is based on clever visual, psychological and other aspects of context, using secret and ingenious techniques to create all kinds of incredible and unpredictable illusions.
In this season, not only many people from thousands of families often use various illusions and tricks to deceive, but many wandering Taoists often use this ability to pretend to be gods and ghosts. Qiao Daoqing, nicknamed the Phantom Lord, is naturally an expert in this kind of illusion.
.Although he also knew that such methods could not deceive the wise men with clear vision, but it was difficult to fool ordinary people into believing them.
Although most of the thieves in southern Hebei are murderers and arsonists, they are almost all believers in gods, witches, and fortune tellers. They are idle men who came from the bottom of the "feudal and superstitious" society. Now they see that they have angered a Taoist master and use their magical powers.
Many people immediately lost all will to fight and just fled backwards.
Zhang Di looked at him from a distance but said harshly: You are really good at magic. Since I dare to engage in life-threatening business, why should I be afraid of ghosts and gods? He summoned a ferocious-looking follower beside him, and that follower was like a dozen or so people.
A thief drew his bow and arrow in the direction of Qiao Daoqing.
"Boohoo!"
There was a shrill sound of breaking through the air, and a dozen sharp arrow clusters shone coldly, and they had already rushed to Qiao Daoqing's eyes through the billowing black smoke. Qiao Daoqing was suddenly startled, and hurriedly waved his sword to block, but only heard a pop, and Qiao Daoqing only felt
A sudden burst of pain came over my left shoulder.
Qiao Daoqing saw that an arrow had pierced his left shoulder, and the ancient iron sword in his hand suddenly became heavy. "Fuck your grandfather's thieves! How dare you plot against the Taoist master!!" Qiao Daoqing hugged his arms and roared in anger.
, where can I still look like the enlightened immortal just now?
"Look, that guy is just a deceiver. Don't be afraid of him! Charge up!" Zhang Di ordered the thieves in front to swing their swords wildly and kill dozens of them who turned around and fled. He reorganized his team and had to fight again.
Rush towards the mouth of the valley.
The mountain road is narrow, and it took a long time for the crowded Jinan Army thieves to regain their momentum after being disturbed by Qiao Daoqing's magic technique. During this time, Hua Rong and the remaining horse and archer athletes had exhausted all their arrows, and now they were watching helplessly.
Thousands of thieves are sweeping in like a tide, and they can only resist with their flesh and blood!
The officers and soldiers guarding the valley suddenly collided with the thieves. In an instant, more than a dozen Song soldiers were knocked over by the crowd. The sound of fighting was heard and howls were heard. Countless steel knives and spears came over and pierced the chests of seven or eight Song soldiers.
Chest. Hua Rong had no choice but to rush to the front of the battle with a bright silver gun, stabbing him desperately to resist. Soon his heroic face was covered with blood!
Down below, Xiao Tang's hundreds of cavalrymen only had about forty left. At this time, Sun An, Suo, Zhu Jing and others were all injured. Although Bian Xiang used his power to kill the enemy bravely, he was surrounded by hundreds of thieves.
The situation below is extremely dangerous!
Xiao Tang rode his horse with all his strength, and slashed down hard with the powerful inertia of his two swords. Blood splattered, and before the two thieves could even scream, their whole bodies were split into two halves. By the time Xiao Tang rode his horse,
Looking back, he said anxiously: Before entering this place, I had ordered Qingqi to go and report Zhang Di's hiding place to the various departments in Sou Shan. It was expected that colleagues would come to help soon. Now that we have taken action,
All we have to do is fight to the death to hold back these thieves!!
After another moment or two of hard work, when there were only a dozen officers and soldiers left at the mouth of the valley to resist desperately, and when Xiao Li Guanghuarong had been slashed on his left arm by the swarming bandit leader, when there were only nine elite cavalrymen like Xiao Tang and others left at the bottom of the valley.
Among them, Zhu Jing's horse lost its front hoof and fell down. When nearly a hundred thieves surrounded him...the reinforcements finally arrived!
Those who rushed to the valley entrance were the two battalions of soldiers led by Damingfu Infantry Commander Zhou Jin and Wang Ding, as well as several battalions of soldiers and horses under the command of Wenda. Among them, Wenda's command was considered to be the most elite and well-equipped in both Hebei and Hebei Provinces.
Two battalions of nearly a thousand infantrymen formed a neat square formation. Following the loud orders, they marched forward in unison.
The thieves could only see a steel forest that seemed to be moving slowly, slowly approaching them. Thousands of shields in the military formation built a cold barrier. Densely packed spears poked out from the gaps in the shields and shone coldly.
The brilliance of the two battalions of infantry soldiers was almost entirely protected by infantry armor with extremely outstanding defensive effects!
That infantry armor was a heavy-duty steel armor composed of 1,825 armor leaves. It was the most well-protected heavy infantry unit in the Song Dynasty.
There are big flaws in terms of power, but in this environment, occupying the pass to intercept the enemy and approaching them step by step can bring out the greatest advantage of this unit.
"kill!"
Following an order, a thousand heavy infantry troops who were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Jinnan thieves suddenly took the order. With a sound like thunder, the spearmen in the front row waved their arms repeatedly, and countless spears came out one after another, with an orderly rate.
After stabbing through the body of the thieves in front, the thieves screamed and fell down. The infantry formation still moved forward slowly, trying to force these thieves down the valley!
The formation of the Southern Hebei Army bandits has begun to stir up a commotion. The soldiers standing in the front row just cried for their fathers and mothers, turned around and ran away. The bandits behind were also timid and wanted to retreat, but several bandit leaders shouted loudly in an attempt to control them.
The situation was declining, but first Xiao Tang led the elite cavalry to raid, and then Qiao Daoqing used illusions to force the thieves into chaos, and now with the reinforcements of the Song Army arriving... the fighting spirit of the southern Hebei Army thieves finally collapsed completely!
Xiao Tang rode his horse to see it and was extremely happy. He knew that the thieves gathered together were not a strong force that had experienced hundreds of battles, but just a group of rabble. Now, under the pressure of the government and the army, the Jinan Army had very little morale left.
Nothing remains, and there is only one result at the moment:
The army was defeated like a mountain.
Over there, when Bian Xiang was fighting a bloody battle, he met two leaders, Li Tianxi and Lin Xin, who had been knocked down from the mountain road. Li Tianxi saw Bian Xiang blocking the road, covered in blood. He saw that Bian Xiang was out of breath and exhausted.
, then he cursed angrily: "You unjust villain! I will definitely take your donkey's head!"
After that, Li Tianxi and Lin Xin surrounded Bian Xiang on the left and right. Bian Xiang made a cold sound and turned a blind eye to Lin Xin's steel spear that was poking towards him like a poisonous snake. He held the bottom of the handle of the mountain ax with one hand and slammed it
He raised his hand and slashed straight towards Lin Xin's waist with a powerful and unstoppable sweep. Before Lin Xin could pierce his chest with his spear, Bian Xiang had already cut him into two pieces with the big ax in his hand!
Lin Xin was startled and leaned over to dodge in panic. Bian Xiang took advantage of the gap and held the ax with both hands. His physical strength seemed to be at the end of his strength. He didn't know where he got the strength from, and he slashed straight at Li Tianxi.
go!
"clang!!!"
A deafening strike of metal and iron suddenly started. Even though Li Tianxi blocked it with his sword, his huge body was knocked away by Bian Xiang! After being swept away by Bian, Li Tianxi rolled over ten steps and collapsed to the ground in disgrace.
Bian Xiang took advantage of Lin Xin to stand up, and his huge body suddenly rushed to Lin Xin. He clenched his hand and struck down the ax fiercely. Lin Xin was cut into two parts from head to toe, and hot blood spattered Bian Xiang's face! Over there, Li Tianxi
Seeing Bian Xiang's majesty and murderous spirit, he was stunned. When Bian Xiang turned around and swept towards him with an ax in one hand, he subconsciously held the handle of the knife with both hands to block it.
Bian Xiang turned the handle of the ax and pressed it on Li Tianxi's steel knife with one hand. Li Tianxi suddenly felt that his arms were as heavy as lead and iron, and the overwhelming force was pressing down on him. Bian Xiang freed his right hand and raised his fist as big as a casserole to hit it.
On Li Tianxi's forehead, Li Tianxi's eyes immediately went black, and he was knocked unconscious by Bian Xiang's blow.
"You don't have the final say whether I am a loyal person or a dishonest person!" Bian Xiang looked down at Li Tianxi with his eyes turned white and his mouth was drooling, and he said calmly.
Over there, Xiao Tang saw that Wen Da and others were almost leading their troops to the valley, and saw Zheng Zhirui in the distance. Two bandit leaders, Xue Shi, surrounded one person and fled. That person must be the bandit leader Zhang Di, right? Xiao Tang snorted coldly.
, shook the reins, slapped the horse and rushed straight towards Zhang Di.
But just after running more than ten feet, the wind-whispering horse suddenly stumbled against the pile of corpses two or three people tall, and fell to the ground with a long hiss. Xiao Tang got off the horse, held the wolf fangs tightly and ran wildly with his swords and feet.
, when he saw that he was only thirty or forty steps away from Zhang Di, he yelled like thunder: "Zhang Di! Where else do you want to escape!"
