The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 743 Begonia supports pear

Since the Japanese launched an attack on Zhongzhou two months ago, the coastal defenses of Fujian and Zhejiang have entered a state of emergency preparation. At the same time, they have systematically begun to organize people to seek refuge in inland counties or mountains.

However, it is undoubtedly a huge project to uniformly relocate the people of all ages, old and young, from each household and complete the temporary resettlement.

Even if local officials at all levels have not received instructions from the court, they are working intensively to organize and coordinate all aspects of work out of concern for their own safety. The local military has allocated a manpower to be at the mercy of the dispatch.

Even so, when two rebel armies emerged in Pinghai County to cooperate with the Japanese invasion, nearly half of the people along the northern coast of Zhejiang were still either in the process of migrating inland, or had just packed up and hit the road.

The Zhongzhou Army dared to believe that the two rebels would at least not attack unarmed innocent people because they felt guilty, but they could not expect that the Ying invaders would not burn, kill, and loot to support the war, so they had to invest more troops to ensure the safety of the migrating people. .

You can imagine how happy the Japanese people were when they saw such a scene. The people were the biggest weakness of the Zhongzhou Army. The Japanese only needed to seize this vital point, and they could contain most of the Zhongzhou Army with a smaller force, thus spreading the Open a coastal offensive line.

For the Fujian and Zhejiang areas, which are rich in mountains and rivers but have no key points to defend, the wider the position line is, the stronger the position will be.

The firmer we stand, the more courage we have to head inland.

Otherwise, even if Zhan Lihua's proud and bloodthirsty regiment is an army of tigers and wolves, if a mere thousand cavalry goes so far alone, once they are outflanked by three or four thousand troops, they will have no way out, and if they encounter more than ten thousand people blocking the road, they will They will only be crushed into mincemeat!

The Proud Bloodthirsty Regiment plunged deeply into the hinterland of Zhejiang Province. It was easy to say that they had to retreat quickly, but the road ahead was long. The Japanese army that did not occupy the coastal front launched harassment inland to complete the containment and cooperation, and could easily be shut down and beaten.

Our only advantage seems to be in physical fitness and mental state. Although there were twists and turns along the way, there was not much extra expenditure. The opponent had been fighting for days and had just ended a bloody battle!

Long Yanling made a brief calculation and was certain that if he took about 300 of his own men to go head-to-head with Lihua's light cavalry regiment, the result would not be better than Yuan Shen and others.

The two eyes had no choice but to meet.

Presumably the other two armies also encountered similar obstacles and failed to arrive in time.

On the way here, he received a message from the ANBU. Long Yanling already knew who the compatriots who died by the West Lake were.

On the contrary, other friendly troops were implicated and all their lives were involved.

As long as the three hundred of them can hold him back until he cuts off Zhan Lihua, the rest will be defeated.

At that time, Long Yanling took the guests of Yiyun Villa to Pinghai County to pick up Niu Kelian and his daughter who were going south. By chance, they met Zhan Lihua leading dozens of soldiers to practice on the official road.

Encountering an ambush from the Kamikaze Camp on the way here, Long Yanling did not dare to delay. He left Shuangyi, Li Muran and more than 30 mountain village masters to deal with it, while he led his troops to break through the encirclement.

Not to mention that the opponent is a specially-organized cavalry regiment supported by the imperial court and well-trained, aiming to conquer the masters of the world, while our own side is a temporary army that is pieced together and only rides a non-fully-organized cavalry just for the sake of the journey. .

Of the three armies that came to outflank the Proud Bloodthirsty Regiment, two of them were hampered by the sudden fighting on the front line and were unable to come to their aid in time.

He wants to give the other side a way out without having to fight hard, and teach his side to retreat, fight, and drag along with the opponent's impact.

Of course he knew that if he wanted to annihilate the Proud Bloodthirsty Group, such a sacrifice would be foreseeable and worth it.

So while he slowed down his horse's pace, he loudly conveyed his strategic plan to the rear army.

Both Zhan Lihua and Long Yanling looked solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The backwardness is comprehensive.

This time he is the main force specially coming to stop the Proud Bloodthirsty Group.

It’s still the principle to capture the thief first.

Although the Fujian soldiers were in pieces under the attack of the Japanese army, Long Yanling Laolao Pick Picking slowly integrated more than 300 defeated soldiers into a battalion of soldiers with considerable combat effectiveness.

Invisible fireworks exploded in the air.

But with the fait accompli in front of him, Long Yanling had no choice but to secretly make up his mind: He would not let Master Yuan Shen and other members of the Wudang Sect, as well as Qi Guang, Yu Dayou and other soldiers die in vain!

Long Yanling has seen that the Proud Bloodthirsty Regiment has lost a lot of its members, but even in the face of more than a thousand cavalry, their more than 300 troops are like throwing an egg at a stone.

But even though he is familiar with military books and is well versed in the art of war, he is not an out-and-out general after all, but a man who fights in the arena where righteousness comes first.

If Zhan Lihua, who has strong facial lines and rather feminine features, takes off her armor, wears white clothes and carries a sword, her appearance can be compared with the likes of Luo Piaoling and Gongsun Yu, and she can just fill the position currently vacant among the "Four Young Masters" .

The opponent's horses are all bred by Zhao Yebai. The white horses are tall and strong, can sprint quickly in short distances, and have good endurance when running long distances. The only disadvantages are that the breeding time is long and the feed is expensive.

Among them, the Jianghu rebels belonging to Shahaiwu and Yiyuan Escorts have not appeared at the West Lake for a long time.

Regardless of whether Zhan Lihua betrayed Zhongzhou or not, she could not deny that she was a gun created by the imperial court.

Half a month ago, Long Yanling was specially appointed as a temporary general by the imperial court for his outstanding talents in Fujian, and was given the authority to command and mobilize three battalions.

He understood the principle of Ci not commanding troops, but he couldn't get used to it yet.

On the Qiantang Road, the two armies met, separated by hundreds of feet, and each adjusted the rhythm of their advance.

Delaying the attack may not necessarily allow the other two friendly forces to arrive, but as long as it can be delayed and continued mediation, the casualties will not be too heavy.

The first ones to arrive on the scene were Long Yanling and his entourage who had come from the inner mountains of Fujian.

Long Yanling is another gun honed in the world of martial arts.

The opponent's heavily armed silver armor and silver spears are all forged from lightweight yet strong materials, so that they can cope with the extraordinary agility and agility of the masters.

There is still room for promotion during the war. After the war, if you are willing to serve the country, you can also be granted the title of marquis and general.

The time it takes to burn an incense stick is really not that long, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the consequences of burning an incense stick too late are no longer optimistic.

Long Yanling didn't want to keep everyone on the other side.

From the moment the two met for the first time in Pinghai County, it seemed that they were destined to fight.

Long Yanling, who has a square face, big ears, thick eyebrows and handsome eyebrows, has the air of an unruffled and self-confident general even if he doesn't wear armor. He is more like a talent born to fight on the battlefield.

In order to avoid being blocked again, we took some detours and arrived only a stick of incense late.

Seeing the red and white cavalry regiment approaching in blood more than a hundred feet away, Long Yanling couldn't help but sigh.

The two guns with completely different fates go in and out of nowhere, heading towards the same intersection like fate.

It is better to block than to open up.

Zhan Lihua wants to leave without fighting.

Long Yanling saw that Zhan Lihua wanted to leave without a fight, but she would definitely not let her get away.

Zhan Lihua saw Long Yanling's unyielding attitude and knew that only one of the two people on Qiantang Road could leave alive today.

Then let’s fight!

When they were less than eighty feet apart, the two of them led their troops to charge in unison!

The silver-white Qingqi came very quickly.

The horses on the other side were not only not running fast, but had a faint tendency to stop and run instead.

The two armies are about to meet, Zhan Lihua has seen through Long Yanling's intention, but if he wants to break out, there is no way out, he can only charge forward!

After advancing quickly and retreating slowly, the cavalry on both sides finally completed the collision, but there was no scene where the cavalry charging was a matter of life and death.

Many people noticed that there were two different currents in the cavalry tide!

White horses with silver spears and black horses with golden spears moved between the cavalry on both sides, as if they were in a deserted place.

The two spears met soon!

Both of them wanted to complete their success with one blow, so they had no reservations.

During the charge, the adjustment and control of the true energy burst, gun force and accuracy have been adjusted to the extreme! The collision of these two forces is extraordinary and can almost be described as magical.

Bang!

Just like the center of the eye of the storm, which is the calmest place, the two knights just touched each other and passed each other. At most, the force of the shock when they were hit caused their whole bodies to tremble.

Three feet away from the two riders, the ground on Qiantang Road seemed to have been compacted, with all the stones sinking and no dust flying up.

The surging air waves swept around!

The cavalry horses more than ten feet away were overturned to the ground. The horses fell to the ground, twitching and foaming at the mouth. The cavalrymen were either covering their waists or legs, as if their waist organs were injured or their leg bones were broken!

The horses three feet away all raised their front hooves high and refused to come down. After nearly ten breaths, they stepped on the ground again and fell to the ground.

Five feet away, the horses under the cavalry were all frightened and lost control, scurrying around.

Further away, rocks seemed to be collapsing from the embankment and falling into the water.

The rapids of the Qiantang River seemed to be stagnated because of this. It slowed down for a moment before starting to flow again.

The golden and silver spears clashed back and forth, no less than thirty times, and a stick of incense has passed.

Thousands of cavalry from both sides followed the battle and ran for more than 20 miles on Qiantang Road.

Many of the soldiers brought by Long Yanling were not good at riding and fighting. They fell off their horses before they could hold on for long and were trampled to death or stabbed to death by guns.

Except for those who were swept away by the aftermath of the previous collision between the two generals, the more than a thousand riders of the Proud Bloodthirsty Regiment had almost no injuries.

The pressure is all on Long Yanling.

The golden and silver guns clashed together again.

The people and horses around them immediately retreated to make room, and the horses under the two of them were abandoned.

Both horses were war horses. They had also been frightened in the previous terrible collision, and they had reached the end of their strength in continuing to fight.

The two of them dismounted and fought with a tacit understanding.

Long Yanling does not often ride a horse, and is more powerful when dismounted.

Zhan Lihua also has the strength to dismount and fight, and she feels that she is not afraid at all.

The two guns danced.

The golden spear descends the mountain like a fierce tiger, gaining power with every step.

The silver spear is like a snake coming out of its hole or a dragon playing in the water.

The two people's steps staggered and their wrists moved repeatedly. Sometimes the weight seemed to be light, and sometimes the strength exceeded a thousand pounds!

In an instant, sand flew and rocks flew, and thunder and fire roared.

The momentum of the clash of thousands of cavalry elsewhere was unmatched.

After another incense burnt, there were still 1,000 cavalry members of the Proud Bloodthirsty Regiment, but less than 250 cavalrymen under Long Yanling's command were left, completely unable to reach the strength of a battalion.

However, more than 240 cavalrymen still implemented the tactic of fighting and walking, suppressing the galloping speed of thousands of light cavalry.

Of course, the main reason why more than a thousand light cavalry could only advance seven or eight miles in one stick of incense was because their general abandoned his horse and fought fiercely with the enemy general, making it difficult to keep up with the large army.

Zhan Lihua was entangled by Long Yanling and got off her horse to fight. Although she had the intention to compete, she was mostly forced to do so.

If Zhan Lihua doesn't dismount, Long Yanling will forcefully stab his horse in the crotch.

If Zhan Lihua wants to change horses, Long Yanling will only change one and kill the other.

Faced with this conspiracy, Zhan Lihua had no choice but to resort to tricks in the hope of defeating the enemy with immediate effort.

It's just that Zhan Lihua, who has never had a long-term entanglement with top martial arts warriors, finally exposed the disadvantage of inexperience.

Long Yanling has a better grasp of the rhythm of the confrontation, and is more reasonable in the use and deployment of internal energy. He naturally understands Zhan Lihua's mental state of a quick victory or eager to escape. He boils the frog in warm water and slowly boils Zhan Lihua's The spirit is exhausted.

The sword has a sword rainbow.

Guns also have gun shuttles.

Long Yanling's wrist turned sharply and trembled, and the spear rotated and vibrated at high speed!

The spear came out like a dragon, stabbing Zhan Lihua in the front with a force that no one could resist!

Zhan Lihua fought bravely.

But I saw a golden shuttle passing through my chest, ignoring the silver spear!

Zhan Lihua groaned and slid two feet away, plowing two long ditches with her feet!

The light armor on the chest was not broken, but the armor on the back was torn open and blood was oozing out!

This time, the blood stains on Zhan Lihua's body were not all others', but also his own.

His strength was similar to that of Long Yanling, but after days of fighting, he had accumulated fatigue. He was also challenged by Long Yanling's tricks, and he was finally defeated.

Only one person will die if he is injured before the battle.

Zhan Lihua thought this way, leaning on her gun and trying to hold herself up to fight to death, but she couldn't bring herself to do it due to the pain.

At this moment, his eyes were surrounded by cherry blossom pink mist, and his nose was filled with the familiar fragrance.

The body was first gently supported and then carried on his back.

"Aunt~"

Zhan Lihua murmured weakly and closed her eyes An Ran.

"Don't sleep! I'll take you to see my aunt's favorite cherry blossoms!"

……

……

Long Yanling had no intention of showing mercy at all, and he wanted to take the enemy's life in one fell swoop, but suddenly his eyes flashed with flowers!

After being stunned for a moment, I realized that I had just been pregnant with Haitang in a flowery dress and it flashed by!

Then, a thick pink mist rose up inexplicably, completely covering the view.

After Long Yanling used her internal energy to dance with her spear and disperse the powdery mist, apart from a silver spear, a pool of blood mixed with the soil, and a string of footprints on the ground ahead, where was the trace of Zhan Lihua?

Long Yanling failed to hear clearly the conversation between the two in the pink mist.

She could only be sure that Zhan Lihua was not dead, but she was definitely seriously injured. No matter who came, it would be difficult to escape quickly if there was someone on her back.

His qinggong was not very good, but if he wanted to chase him, he would not necessarily be thrown off if he led the horse and drove on the mountain road.

But he still did not choose to kill them all.

It's not that he doesn't want to kill Zhan Lihua, not to mention that he came here to intercept the opponent.

But at this time, the unfinished battle over there was more important. Zhan Lihua's life and death depended only on his words.

Long Yanling picked up the silver spear and rushed to the place where the two sides were fighting.

He raised his silver spear high and declared majesticly: "Zhan Lihua is dead. Those who surrender will not be killed!"

The tinkling sound was sparse.

There is no snow falling on the banks of the Qiantang River, but the crisp sound of rain seems to be audible.
