Two Realms: I use martial arts to ask for longevity

Chapter 433 Winged Fire Snake + Times Make Heroes

Zhou Ping'an selected Yu Changlie and Wu Junsong to join the army.

This is the problem that occurred when the horses were divided.

The generals of each army under his command were all seriously short of horses. After all, the assets they had were looted from the Red Lotus Bandits, and most of them were made up of poor civilians. There were too few elite cavalrymen.

Therefore, in order to train his generals, Zhou Ping'an divided the war horses equally among all the troops.

Except for the 2,000 personal guards, the rest of the generals were each given 1,000 war horses.

Yu Changlie and Wu Junsong are naturally no exception.

At this time, it was necessary to lead the troops to attack. Zhou Ping'an did not bring his own soldiers with him, so he took the cavalry of Yu and Wu with him to fight a quick battle.

In addition, he ordered Xiao Chengfeng to guard the city, and Qingnv led three hundred Qinglin cavalry and five thousand infantry to subsequently surrender the defeated soldiers and war horses.

This is all the arrangements for this battle.

It looks like a joke.

However, with Zhou Ping'an's order, the generals present did not think it was a joke at all.

Instead, I felt very relaxed, as if I was not leaving the city to fight, but just riding out of the city for an outing.

The surrendered Red Lotus generals like Zhang Jili, Fang Zhenwei and others were even more eager to follow behind and have a great fight.

"Open the city gate."

With an order.

The west gate creaked open and two thousand cavalrymen filed out.

……

Sun Yang, deputy general of Yunjin, boosted morale and ordered the vassal troops to cut trees and dig soil, while he himself was also busy.

He rode a yellow horse with a long mane, whistling back and forth at the city gate, holding two broad-bladed axes and shouting challenges.

"Zhou Ping'an, come and fight your grandfather. If you don't dare, open the city gate quickly and kneel down to beg for surrender, and I will spare your life."

This man is tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a round waist, leopard-like eyes, a curly beard and a wide mouth.

Two giant iron axes as big as door panels slashed in the air, breaking through the wind with a buzzing sound, which was very majestic.

Especially this guy has a very rough voice, and when he roars, he sounds like a lion or a bear, extremely ferocious.

The defenders on the city wall were so shocked that they were trembling with fear.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill……"

Sun Yang shouted from below.

From behind came the sound of five thousand elite soldiers shouting and killing.

Further enhance its prestige.

"Provocation? Fortunately, Xiao Chengfeng could endure it." Zhou Ping'an took the lead, followed by Yu Changlie and Wu Junsong on both sides, at a moderate pace.

The tiger talisman was activated, and a mysterious and obscure power was bestowed on the two thousand cavalrymen behind him. Their auras became one, their minds were connected, and even the horses' footsteps gradually became the same as they galloped.

If someone carefully observes, they will find that the horses under the crotch of the two thousand cavalrymen all stepped forward with their left front hooves at the same time, raised their right front hooves, followed by their right hind hooves, and then stepped forward with their right front hooves and landed...

Same movement, same pace.

The cavalry was like a rhythmic snake, rising and falling smoothly and naturally, and it slid out of the city gate.

All the tension, panic, impetuousness and cowardice disappeared.

With a burning desire and a surging fighting spirit, they charged towards the enemy formation with a roar.

Gives people an illusion.

This is not a cavalry, it looks like there is only one man and one horse.

Zhou Pingan actually understood Xiao Chengfeng's choice...

Because, apart from the lies spoken by Deputy General Yunjin in front of the city gate.

There was also a general who led three thousand cavalrymen, like an eagle or a snake, staring at the city gate without moving.

It seems like he can ride on his horse and pounce at any time.

There is nothing wrong with Sun Yang.

Those three thousand imperial guards and one powerful general are the real threat.

A biting dog does not bark.

However, when you bite someone, it will go deep into the flesh.

Of course, all the opponent's strategies and tactics are completely meaningless to Zhou Ping'an.

He reached out his hand to the horse's back, took the three-pointed double-edged sword from the victory hook, and waved a knife ring on his head, pointing diagonally:

"kill……"

A long shout.

The white horse under his crotch suddenly accelerated, flames roared on his body, and both he and the horse turned into a burning green flame.

The knife flashed like lightning and had already slashed in front of Sun Yang who was ready for battle.

In one breath, he crossed fifty steps.

The rain of arrows coming from the opposite side was shattered into a cloud of dust...

Zhou Ping'an and his horse become one, and his energy soars into the sky.

The three-pointed, double-edged sword was raised horizontally and slashed diagonally, drawing a long streak of green starlight with a powerful force.

It was like a gap in the sky, with millions of pounds of force concentrated on the sharp blade, and the sound of breaking wind was heart-wrenching.

Sun Yang had a round, dark face, still with a hint of wildness and disdain, and was about to open his mouth to say something.

It felt as if the sky in front of me was cut in half by that knife.

I felt like I was falling into an abyss.

The waves of air came one after another, crushing over.

For a moment, he felt his hands and feet go sore, his heart beat wildly, and his breathing became difficult.

He even didn't have the strength to lift the two broad-backed axes in his hands.

His eyes were bulging with blood, he roared furiously, starlight flickered on his body, a strong murderous aura burst out, and his two axes crossed to block his chest.

This time, he even used the strength he had when he was breastfeeding as a child.

After twenty-seven years of practice, the Xuanwu Taurus Star Evil has never been so concentrated and active.

He even felt.

If he doesn't die in this battle, his cultivation will take a big leap forward again and he will become one of the top generals in Yunzhou.

Able to compete with heroes all over the world.

pity.

Everything, there is no if.

The two axes raised by Sun Yang did not have any blocking effect at all.

The azure-blue blade light slashing towards him from the opposite side looked powerful and majestic, yet also like a phantom wave… It switched between hardness and softness with ease, flowing over the edge of the axe blade, bypassing the axe body, along the axe handle, breaking arms and chopping necks, whizzing past.

“It seems like a light.”

A look of confusion appeared on Sun Yang's face for a moment, and his eyes were full of despair.

He had no way of blocking the knife. The opponent's lightness, heaviness, hardness and softness were all perfect, changing according to the situation and his will.

In comparison, the Xuanwu Star Axe Technique that he was so proud of in the past seemed like an old, broken ox pulling a cart in front of this sword light, so clumsy that it made people want to cry.

He suspected that even if the opponent chopped him ten or a hundred times, his axe might not be able to block even one blow.

A huge head with hair like a weed rose into the sky.

Sun Yang's burly body was still sitting upright on the horse, with two axes crossed in front of him, and a column of blood spurted out from his neck.

"General..."

"General Sun."

There were bursts of screams and cries coming from behind.

The white horse did not stop for a moment, drawing an oblique arc and charging into the army formation in the rear.

Two riders followed behind him, one wielding a sword and the other brandishing a spear.

It formed a triangle and rushed straight towards the opposing battle formation.

"Spear erect!"

"Stop it, they are few in number."

"Revenge for the general..."

Sun Yang was also good at leading troops and had many talented people under his command.

Even though the main general died, the morale of the army was still relatively stable.

Five thousand soldiers were all ready for battle. The soldiers in the front row inserted the handles of their spears into the soil, half-bent their bodies over the spears, and erected a steel jungle.

Change happens in an instant.

Later, the soldier with the sword stepped forward and held his sword, ready to strike.

The crossbowmen have raised their bows and are aiming...

"it's useless."

A trace of pity flashed across Zhou Ping'an's eyes, but then he returned to indifference.

The three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand spun around, drawing a semicircle around him, and as the warhorse charged forward, it cut out a piece of calm blue waves.

The knife light stretched for dozens of feet, cutting through more than ten feet.

There was suddenly a huge gap in the first three rows of the huge army formation.

The figure flew backwards and the body broke into pieces.

The blood surged up like a wave.

For an ordinary soldier to stop a peerless general, in this world and this era, it is simply impossible to do so.

Once that happens, it becomes brutal.

However, there is nothing that is not cruel on the battlefield.

With one strike of his sword, Zhou Ping'an cut through the army formation and rushed into the heart of it.

Yu Changlie and Wu Junsong were wielding swords and spears, their energy running wild.

With two thousand riders behind him, all he needs to do is chop the melons and vegetables.

The battle between the two sides lasted less than ten breaths.

The five thousand soldiers at Yunjin Ferry had completely collapsed.

A wailing and crying sound appeared, spreading in all directions like a plague.

These people all wished their parents had given them a few more legs, and they ran and fled in all directions. Most of the time, they even bumped into each other and were trampled into meat paste by horses' hooves.

"Those who surrender will not be killed..."

Zhou Pingan gave the order.

Voices calling for surrender were heard from all directions.

He did not stop, nor did he kill more people. He just rode his horse forward, passing through the vast army formation, and there was a flat plain ahead.

Three thousand cavalrymen rushed over obliquely.

The leading general had a red face and sword-like eyebrows. He was wearing bright silver armor with blood patterns and a black cloak tied behind his neck that fluttered in the wind.

The general swung his spear, a ball of bloody flame flashed in his eyes, and both he and his horse seemed to be lit up by a blazing flame.

Not only he had such a vision.

The three thousand riders behind him also had blood-red flames on their bodies, and the raging flames rose and fell like waves, as if they were breathing, inhaling and exhaling, and gathering strength.

"The Qiu brothers practice the Southern Star Evil Winged Fire Snake, and their spear skills are tricky and vicious. The imperial guards under their command are brave and can help a lot. My lord, please do not underestimate the enemy..."

Yu Changlie's voice came from far away.

But it was a voice reminder.

He had a battle with Qiu Huaijie, but not only did he fail to gain the upper hand, he was beaten and had to flee.

He was fully aware of the peculiarities of his opponent's shooting skills.

"Winged Fire Snake?"

Zhou Pingan chuckled.

The martial arts in this world are extremely prosperous, and various secret techniques emerge in an endless stream.

Each has its own characteristics.

Being able to witness all kinds of strange and bizarre combat techniques and martial arts is certainly helpful in enhancing one's own foundation and reaching a higher level.

However, in the current battle, the enemy is very determined, so in order to reduce the number of casualties among his cavalry, he cannot hold back.

Think of this.

Zhou Ping'an decided to give this vanguard of the imperial guards some respect.

Qiu Huaijie on the opposite side didn't know whether he had great confidence in himself or was used to being strong. He looked at them with disdain, waved his gun and roared, "You dare to cause trouble, you are really seeking death, and you will die."

He waved his spear, and the essence in his body turned into countless fire snakes. In front of the spear tip, thousands of blood flames condensed, and murderous energy was like needles, swarming over him.

It was impossible to see where his spear was, nor could I find his main attack direction.

Feeling tens of millions of fire snakes transforming into bright red threads and piercing in front of him, Zhou Ping'an sneered and was too lazy to reply or argue, nor did he block.

He just raised the long sword, gathered endless water light, and chopped it down with a loud bang.

Chapter 440: Times Make Heroes

*

'The ocean is limitless.'

Zhou Ping'an faced the spear light, raised his sword to the sky, and chopped it down with a bang.

This sword strike gathered all the strength of the body, gathered the vast sea of ​​sword energy in the body, and integrated it with the military intent of breaking the army.

One person is worth thousands of troops.

The mighty sword light slashed down. Before the blade fell, the sword energy had already torn through the void, clearing away the clouds and slashing through with a whistling sound.

The thousands of gun flowers from Qiu Huaijie on the opposite side were cut down by this sword.

There wasn't even a splash of water.

Extinguished in an instant.

The Golden Spear made of blood jade steel, as well as the Mingguang Armor and the lion horse.

Under this knife, it collapsed like sand.

The sword light first cut off the spear, then broke the heavy armor, the sword energy vibrated vertically and horizontally, and with a loud bang, it vibrated away.

A series of blood-colored ripples fanned forward, submerging the blood and bones of Qiu Huaijie and also destroying the dozen or so cavalrymen who were rushing up from behind.

It has to be said that these elite imperial cavalry are truly strong and each one of them is brave.

However, the cultivation level of the Blood Exchange Realm was as fragile as a piece of paper under Zhou Ping'an's internal energy and tremendous strength.

The sword energy whizzed past, and no one could withstand it.

Looking at these elite imperial guards being chopped off like pigs and dogs by his sword, Zhou Ping'an felt a little bit of pity in his heart.

However, this untimely weakness was soon blown away by the bloody wind.

It has been said since ancient times: "A kind army cannot be commanded."

Whether dealing with hostile forces or one's own subordinates, since one has already stepped onto this grinding wheel of blood, one can only treat it as a game.

The killing today is only to ensure that no one will wield the butcher knife in the future.

Some things must be done by someone.

Although he thought so, he did not use his ultimate move this time. He just relied on his superb swordsmanship to cut a bloody path and led the cavalry behind him to infiltrate, counterattack, surround and kill.

Facts have proved that even the imperial guards are no more aggressive than other people.

More than a thousand of the three thousand cavalrymen were killed or wounded, and the rest had already lost their minds and were running around like headless flies, not even daring to draw their swords to resist.

Following the shout, the remaining cavalry dismounted and knelt down to surrender.

At this point, the situation was settled.

Qingnv led five thousand soldiers and followed closely behind, collecting the surrendered soldiers in an orderly manner.

Arrange baggage, weapons, food and fodder...

Yu Changlie stood quietly aside, not even trying to fight for the surrendered soldiers and horses. He felt a little disappointed.

This is also inevitable.

Qiu Huaijie was no unknown person. He had a great reputation among the imperial guards and was conferred the title of fifth-rank Yingyang General.

When you arrive at a local place and meet with the county governor, you don't have to call yourself a subordinate, but interact with him as an equal.

Not to mention, this time as the vanguard of the army to suppress the rebellion, he is highly regarded by the people and has the ambition to sweep across the world.

Under Zhou Ping'an's knife, such people were like chickens and dogs, and were chopped into pieces with one stroke.

The three thousand guards under his command were defeated in just one charge.

Thinking of Qiu Huaijie, and then thinking of myself, no matter how much I believe in my own abilities and believe that I will definitely make great achievements in the future, I can't help but lose interest at this moment...

"What if I confront the lord?"

What else?

It was nothing more than a single blow of the sword, and both the man and the horse were killed.

This is truly a sad fact.

……

Xiao Chengfeng was originally in high spirits as he led his men out of the city to gather their harvest.

His beard was shaking with laughter.

The harvest this time is really huge.

Especially war horses.

Because he loved horses, Zhou Ping'an was particularly careful when he took action and told his men not to hurt the horses.

As a result, after this battle, more than 2,700 excellent war horses were preserved intact.

Although the number of these horses is only equal to the horses originally owned by Pinghu City, their quality is far superior to the original Pinghu war horses.

Each one is strong and sturdy, with a mighty stature.

With this as a basis, the Ping'an Army will have one more elite cavalry, and will finally be able to get rid of the problem of insufficient cavalry in the three counties.

Although there are many soldiers in the three counties of Liyou, it is very inconvenient to mobilize them.

The two cities are one hundred and fifty miles apart, and it would take an ordinary soldier two or three days just to travel at an accelerated pace.

If we really encounter an emergency war, let alone support, by the time the army arrives, the city may have been emptied.

It’s impossible that every time something happens, Zhou Ping’an, as the lord, needs to rush around and put out fires.

What kind of situation would that be?

Therefore, it is imperative to form a powerful cavalry.

While selecting horses, he noticed that his second brother Yu Changlie looked a little strange. He shook his head and suddenly laughed out loud.

"What are you competing with him for?"

He and Yu Changlie are friends for life and death, they have a very good relationship and understand each other very well.

At this moment, he understood what his second brother was thinking.

He advised: "Who should you compare yourself with? Don't compare yourself with Ming Gong...

You, you, how many heroes like you do you think there are in this world?

All you need to do is to try your best to improve your martial arts, expand territory for your master, and make meritorious contributions..."

Xiao Chengfeng had experienced the glory of his youth, the desolation of his youth, and the silence of his middle age.

I have long since become indifferent to many things.

I also saw through the impermanence of the world...

He knew that the circumstances of life, wealth and poverty, fortune and misfortune, were nothing more than a matter of fate and luck.

People have aspirations to reach the sky, and they cannot achieve it without luck.

At the moment, this is obviously luck. I met the right person and did the right thing. What else is there to think about?

Just keep doing it.

"That's right, my brother is still open-minded."

Yu Changlie only temporarily fell into self-doubt, and truly experienced the helplessness of "comparing yourself with others will only make you angry."

The more arrogant you are, the heavier the blow will be.

This is a true feeling of being inferior to others in skills, and therefore, one feels lonely.

However, as long as you admit that there will always be people in this world who are better and more powerful than you, all your resentment will naturally disappear and there will be nothing worth worrying about.

The question now is not how far we are from the Lord.

Rather, the question is how to stand out and make great contributions in the Ping An Army Group.

First of all, you have to refine the White Tiger Star Evil into your bones and improve your cultivation.

You can't just run away in disgrace every time you encounter a strong enemy and let your lord take the blame for you.

That's not the way to be a general.

How can a defeated general talk about bravery?
The only thing we should do is to catch up.

"Qiu Huaijie is dead, Qiu Huaiying will definitely not let it go. I wonder if he will give up attacking the Red Lotus Bandit Army and turn to attack us?"

"If I meet Qiu Huaiying again, I will not lose this time, nor will I run away."

There was a hint of murderous intent in Yu Changlie's eyes, and a sense of bravery suddenly arose in his heart.

"boom!"

It seemed that his mood had changed, and he had resonated with the White Tiger Star.

The strong energy in his body suddenly boiled up and turned into a giant mouth, swallowing up the clusters and wisps of star evil that had merged into his body and became one with them.

The aura on his body expanded outwards, and then contracted again. After this happened three times, Yu Changlie opened his eyes again, and a ray of star energy shot straight three feet up.

The air waves around him exploded, and Xiao Chengfeng was blown away so hard that he couldn't control his body and took three steps back.

He just felt that the aura of his second brother had become extremely violent and fierce.

"This……"

His eyes changed.

"Good! Changlie had an epiphany after the battle and broke through himself. This is really cause for celebration. With you guarding Pinghu, there is nothing to worry about..."

Zhou Ping'an flashed and came to Yu Changlie's side. With stars twinkling in his eyes, he saw through Yu Changlie's current state.

He was also slightly happy in his heart.

At this time, the evil spirits and qi in the other person's body were mixed together into a whole, forming a whole of its own. There was no longer the sense of opposition as when they were met before, but instead a sense of harmony and unity.

When I investigated with my mind, I actually sensed some danger.

'This is clearly a sign of condensing the inner energy and refining the evil spirit, and merging the inner energy and evil spirit into one.

Although the strength of the evil energy that was cultivated was not much, it was a big step forward in terms of realm.

As long as he stabilizes, and absorbs more evil energy into his Qi, his combat power will increase by more than ten times.'

Zhou Ping'an looked at Yu Changlie again with a strange look in his eyes.

Could it be that this person is also a child of destiny?

It is the fate that favors you.

Nothing serious happened, he just fought a defeated battle and escaped unscathed, then he followed me in charging into the battle line and killing the enemies, he stopped to stand and talk for a few words, and then he suddenly had an epiphany and a breakthrough.

Is it his luck, Xiao Chengfeng's luck, or his own luck?
Zhou Ping'an thought a lot in his mind.

However, in the end, the joy outweighs the sorrow.

As long as you become stronger and stronger, your influence will also grow.

It was impossible for these two brothers to develop the desire to be independent.

Although, no matter how you look at them, they look like the Emperor Uncle Group, but they are just similar, not the same.

Zhou Ping'an has read so much history.

I deeply understand that all heroes and great men undergo little spiritual transformation due to the environment and circumstances.

This is also the true meaning of "Heroes are made by the times".

If the situation was not like that, some of the "rebels" might actually be loyal ministers and generals.

The more likely possibility is that he would work in the fields and die in peace and contentment in the countryside.

"I will die for you, my Lord."

Yu Changlie obviously also understood the changes inside his body.

He just felt that he became much stronger in an instant.

Whether it's strength, speed, or even nerve reaction.

With the blessing of that dense energy, they all became countless times stronger.

No need to try.

If he met an enemy like Qiu Huaijie again at this time, he was sure that he could take the other person's life within three moves.

Strong faith can even become real and true.

"There is no need to die for the sake of service. The Peace Army vows to benefit the people of the world, so that they can live without suffering from displacement and live like human beings.

It is a great blessing to have Chengfeng and Changlie helping me."

"Lord!"

Yu Changlie hasn't said anything yet.

Xiao Chengfeng was already wiping away tears.

He was so moved that he cried.

After thinking for a while, he decided that business was more important, so he said hastily, "This battle has broken Qiu Huaijie's imperial cavalry, and he has obviously torn his relationship with the court. We should take advantage of this opportunity to lead our troops to Yunjin and seize the ferry..."

Pretty radical, man.

Zhou Ping'an looked at Xiao Chengfeng in surprise, knowing that the other party wanted to make his feelings clear, meaning that he wanted to go all the way with him.

It's a commendable intention, but the timing is wrong.

"No rush. For the time being, we should focus on defense in Yunzhou. I suspect that there will be some movement in Honglian. It is not appropriate to confront enemies on both sides at this time. It is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

The Qiu brothers brazenly crossed the river and slaughtered the Red Lotus bandits' soldiers. They even forced the Cangwu Taoist, who was at the Grandmaster level, to retreat. Their military might was truly overwhelming.

Under this situation, unless the Red Lotus Cult abandons Huangze County, there will definitely be support.

Moreover, Zhou Pingan had a vague feeling in his heart.

As the second spiritual tide passes, I'm afraid that powerful figures from various forces will enter the scene one after another.

At this time, as the first one to stand out, he went to attack cities and seize territories. On the surface, it seemed that he was flourishing and prosperous, but in fact, he became the enemy of everyone.

It has become the target of all forces' full-scale attacks.

So why bother?
It’s better to sit back and guard this little piece of land.

First, work hard on your internal strength, eliminate the enemies around you, and expand your territory little by little.

He did not forget that he was now racing against time with that shady old man in Guangyun County.

Either the other party has accomplished a great feat, has extraordinary skills, and can lead his troops to suppress the enemy.

Or, you are just one step ahead, seize the initiative, and kill him first.

That being said, Guangyun County is where the danger is at its highest point, so we must be careful.

As for the army that is suppressing the rebellion, it would be better to put it on hold and wait a while.
