Chapter 161: The Empress of Daqing is already defeated

Hulao Pass, one of the most dangerous passes in the world, is located between two mountain peaks. It overlooks the Lingzhou Plain in the front and can attack the Laizhou Basin in the back. It is of little use in peacetime, but once a war breaks out, it becomes a battleground for military strategists.

It's not just because of the dangerous terrain.

More importantly, Hulao Pass controls the Zhanan River, which runs through half of Laizhou and directly connects to the Tongtian River, making it an important water transport channel.

March and fight.

The most important thing is the supply of food and fodder.

The loss of troops traveling by land is only one tenth of that of their opponents. However, if there is a water route, the efficiency will suddenly increase by several times. This is why it is necessary to defend Hulao Pass. Once Hulao Pass is lost, food and grass will continuously flow into Laizhou through the Zhanan River, thus forming a protracted war lasting two years or even several years. On the contrary, if Hulao Pass can be defended for another hundred days, the food and grass of Yongle Prefecture will be exhausted and the war will end within a few months.

"We've arrived at Hulao Pass."

Looking from afar, ten miles away, there is a towering city crawling in the natural dangers. The two mountains next to it are like two demon-suppressing pillars, and the pass in the middle is like a demon tiger suppressed here.

"Report——"

"I am Liang Pi, the garrison commander of Hulao Pass."

A lieutenant general came to greet him.

"Liang Pi."

Chen Sanshi asked: "Tell me about the current situation of Hulao Pass."

"We have less than 300 soldiers and insufficient food and fodder."

Liang Pi looked at the tall and mighty horses of the Black Armor Army and said worriedly: "Especially with so many war horses, I'm afraid the food and grass consumed every day is a terrible number."

Fang Qingyun asked, "How long will it take to transfer the food?"

"The eight prefectures nearby have already run out of food. It will take about a hundred days to transport it from the dock of Tongtian River."

Liang Pi clenched his fist and said, "In addition, there is a traitor in Hulao Pass. After a general accepted benefits from the Southern Xu Kingdom, he often leaked information. The person has been killed and his head is hung on the city wall.

"I see."

Chen Sanshi deployed: "From now on, you will lead your people to leave Hulao Pass and be responsible for the dispatch of food and grass. All defense inside the pass will be taken over by me."

"As ordered!"

Liang Pi took the order and left.

After entering Hulao Pass, Chen Sanshi ordered: "Zhao Kang, lead a team of people to explore outside the pass, find out the commander and number of the vanguard troops, and then come back to report."

"Yes!"

……

Yongle Mansion.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Oh no!"

"..."

Midnight.

Li Gong, who was resting on the armchair, was awakened by the hurried voices of his subordinates. He slowly opened his eyes and said, "Speak."

"Nan Xu!"

The subordinate reported: "After the Nanxu bastards entered Lingzhou, they did not immediately attack Hulao Pass. Some of them went to Ziwei Mountain, while others controlled the key areas of Lingzhou. All the officials who wanted to resist were killed."

"Shameless!"

Deputy General Liu Huanrong yelled, "Are they here to be allies?!"

"Don't be impatient."

Li Gong sneered, "From the moment we invited them in, Lingzhou is doomed to be lost. Write a letter and tell Fan Shuzhen that Lingzhou can be given to him, but I still say that you must take Hulao Pass as soon as possible! Don't be so short-sighted as to limit yourself to just one state!"

"Your Majesty."

Liu Huanrong muttered, "There's another thing that's a little strange."

Li Gong glanced at him and said, "You mean Ziwei Mountain?"

"Correct."

Liu Huanrong analyzed: "Sheng Ren took a huge risk this time, and it always feels a little abnormal."

"Ziwei Mountain."

Li Gong pondered and said, "It has been in my Daqing's hands for a hundred years. Previous emperors have searched for it, but have not found anything unusual. Either it does not exist, or only the Cao family can find it."

"Is it related to the immortal way?"

Liu Huanrong said: "Emperor Longqing is said to be a true immortal."

"He is, but isn't our Majesty?"

Li Gong sneered, "How do you think that woman in our capital could win over most of the officials under the nose of the late emperor in just a few years, and quickly stabilize the situation after the coup? Do you really think that she just relied on political tricks?"

"This……"

Liu Huanrong was shocked: "Your Highness, I have never known this."

"This world has changed a long time ago!"

Li Gong's eyes were deep: "The deeds of Taizu Cao Xie are all true! The reason why he was able to break more than 2,000 armors is because he was not just a warrior. After hundreds of years, I am afraid that many similar deeds will emerge in this world. Immortals and deeds will continue to emerge. People like you and me are just frogs in the well."

"If that's really the case..."

Liu Huanrong said: "Nanxu must also have immortal traces, so will Ziwei Mountain really be given to them?"

"This is something your majesty should consider. It has nothing to do with you and me."

Li Gong said in a deep voice: "You and I just need to fight this battle well. In addition, have you checked the news about Chen Sanshi's family?"

"It took a lot of effort to use the Divine Eagle to mobilize our spies in Shengren territory and finally get the detailed files. I almost forgot about it after killing several groups in a row during the day."

Liu Huanrong slapped his forehead and said quickly, "That Gu Xinlan was a criminal exiled from Sheng Kingdom in the fifty-fifth year of Longqing. I'm sure Your Majesty knows more about what happened that year than I do. But her surname is Gu, and she is the descendant of an official of the Sheng Dynasty named Gu. What does she have to do with your majesty?"

“What if her last name isn’t Gu?”

Li Gong nodded and said, "I roughly know who she is. Let's keep this matter secret for now and talk about it after the war is over. Also, tell Fan Shuzhen that I want Chen Sanshi's head!"

"By the way, is Deng Feng dead?"

"We have sent Black Hawk to remind him to commit suicide. Now that the Black Armor Army has set out for Hulao Pass, he must have died. And later someone reported that at the time in Zhaotong Prefecture, General Deng actually held on until the very last moment, and even failed to commit suicide in order not to implicate his subordinates and the people."

"Ah."

Li Gong nodded with satisfaction: "He deserves the reputation of Daqing. When the war is over, let Your Majesty confer a posthumous title on him."

……

Hulao Pass.

"Report!"

Zhao Kang reported: "Fifty miles outside the city, we found the vanguard of Nanxu, led by the fourteenth prince Fan Jiaxiao. It is conservatively estimated that there are more than 20,000 people, and they have set up camp in the Yinsong Cliff area. Judging from their posture, the follow-up 100,000 troops are estimated to be here soon."

"Fan Jiaxiao, the fourteenth prince of the emperor."

Fang Qingyun recalled this man's resume: "At the age of only 25, he has already mastered the meridians. He is only one step away from being able to rule a region. He is considered the leader among the younger generation of Southern Xu State."

"Judging from their marching plan, they are preparing to move forward steadily."

Deng Feng judged: "After the 100,000-strong army is assembled, if they continue to fight day and night, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold the city."

"This battle is simply impossible to fight."

Sha Wenlong counted on his fingers and said, "One hundred thousand troops and four Xuan Xiangs! Even if General Deng and I were at the front, how long could we hold out? At most a month, no, twenty days."

"There is only one solution for now."

Fang Qingyun said calmly: "That is to delay their gathering time. My suggestion is to send out 500 cavalrymen, take a detour after leaving Hulao Pass, attack the camp at midnight, set fire to the baggage and retreat quickly, and then attack the camp a second time before dawn to mess up their vanguard.

"certainly.

“Doing this can only delay the process for five to seven days.

“Besides, they are not fools, they must have taken precautions. These five hundred people are likely to suffer heavy losses.

"Brother, do you have any better ideas?"

After a long moment of contemplation, Chen Sanshi slowly said, "Brother, I can't keep it."

"Oh, do you even need to tell me that?"

Sha Wenlong snorted coldly, "What else can we do if we can't defend it? This is the military order given to us by the higher-ups! Even if we die, we must die at Hulao Pass, and we can't retreat even a single step! My Sha family has been blessed by the emperor for generations, and it's time for us to serve the court. General Chen, I hope you don't want to retreat."

"One-eyed dragon, shut up."

Deng Feng cursed with disgust on his face: "Listen to what the general has to say."

"Senior brother."

Chen Sanshi looked at the scholar in blue: "What do you think is the best way to defend the city?"

"Oh?"

Fang Qingyun quickly gave an answer: "The founder of military science once said that the attacker is the best defender. As the saying goes, the active attack is the best defense. My strategy just now can be regarded as echoing this saying."

"not enough."

Chen Sanshi said: "Brother's strategy is indeed the best strategy, which is in line with the words of the ancestor of the army and also fits with Brother's cunning way, but it is not enough for the current situation."

"So, you're not going to attack the camp, but head on?"

Fang Qingyun guessed what his junior brother was thinking: "You are going to start gathering strength again, you..."

Want to win!

Speaking of it.

Fang Qingyun, who was sitting in a wheelchair, felt a tremor in his heart.

He raised his head and looked at his junior fellow apprentice.

Suddenly I understood Chen Sanshi's thoughts.

This battle!
Three thousand, guarding a hundred thousand.

Junior brother.

Not only do I not want to lose.

He also wants to win!
Three thousand people want to defeat an army of one hundred thousand.

Not to mention whether it can be successful, just the courage alone, how many people in the world can have this kind of courage?

"Brother understands me."

Chen Sanshi said: "So, I have to defeat their sharp offensive momentum! Night raids are useful, but the effect is far less fierce than in broad daylight."

"The issue is……"

Fang Qingyun asked curiously, "Junior brother, we don't have enough soldiers and horses, so attacking the camp at night is a helpless move. If it's a head-on attack, how many people do you plan to use?"

"Let me go!"

Deng Feng said impatiently: "Give me three hundred cavalrymen, and I promise to behead more than five hundred and kill five generals!"

"General Deng is indeed suitable."

Fang Qingyun nodded slightly: "What do you think, Junior Brother?"

"inappropriate."

Chen Sanshi denied it and said, "The enemy's vanguard has no general for the time being, so there is no need for General Deng to take action."

"I come?"

Sha Wenlong was not afraid: "No problem."

"Neither is you."

Chen Sanshi stood up and slowly put on his helmet: "This time at Hulao Pass, everyone in the enemy knows that I, Chen Sanshi, will be the commander. Only if I go there in person can I maximize the effect."

"Ah."

Sha Wenlong asked: "How many people do you plan to use?"

Chen Sanshi picked up the spear in the corner and said calmly: "I am enough."

"Are you alone?"

Sha Wenlong was stunned: "Don't try to kill yourself, General Chen, don't try to show off!"

Hulao Pass is of utmost importance, and as the commander, Chen Sanshi cannot put himself in danger.

Of course, if this kid doesn't listen to advice, he will die.

Anyway, Fang Qingyun is still in charge, it’s just that there is one less person who can pass the meridians.

"Chen Shuai."

Deng Feng asked: "Why don't you let me go with you?"

"Don't show up yet, I have other uses for you."

Chen Sanshi took the iron-framed bow handed to him by his subordinates and turned to leave the tent.

Soon after.

The gate of Hulao Pass was wide open.

The soldiers watched the scene in front of them from the city wall several feet high.

A general in black armor, with a long bow on his back and a spear in his hand, walked towards the wilderness with big strides. His speed was getting faster and faster, from a trot to a run, like a demon tiger that escaped from Hulao Pass and regained its freedom, returning to the mountains with a fierce momentum, bringing with it the wind and clouds.

"hiss!"

A horse's neighing sound like a dragon's roar was heard, gradually overlapping with the general's route, and then the two merged into one. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the endless wasteland, leaving only flying dust in the sky.

With long spear, white horse and iron-framed bow, we rush to the enemy camp outside Hulao Pass!
Although there are thousands of people, I am going!
……

Silver Pine Cliff.

Nanxu Vanguard Force.

The military camp is still being built in an orderly manner.

Fan Jiaxiao, the fourteenth son of the Emperor of Nanxu, personally watched the soldiers' movements, and no carelessness was allowed even when setting up camp.

With a sword on his waist, he commanded: "The camp must be built firmly, and the surrounding defenses must be well prepared. Don't give the enemy a chance to attack the camp!
“Especially Fang Qingyun.

"Military Advisor Ran just sent someone to remind us that he is very likely to use the method of raiding the camp to slow down the speed of our army's assembly and preparation. We must be on guard no matter day or night!"

"Don't worry, Fourteenth Master."

Lieutenant General Lang Jiping is the son of the emperor's uncle. He is only twenty-two years old, but has already reached the minor level of Tongmai.

This time, Nanxu went on an expedition and there were countless nobles.

He said, "Later, I will personally lead people out for inspection. The direction of Hulao Pass that may lead to our army camp will be strictly guarded to prevent any accidents! When the army arrives, we will break through Hulao Pass, and the Fourteenth Master will capture Chen Sanshi and Fang Qingyun. After this battle, he will become famous throughout the world."

Fan Jiaxiao said with emotion: "We are all about the same age, but this Chen Sanshi has already been included in the military books. Before I came here, the children in the southern study of the palace had already started learning the Four Crossings of Hongze. I really want to meet this white-robed general!"

"Report——"

"One mile outside the military camp, someone is coming to challenge us!"

Fan Jiaxiao quickly asked, "How many people?"

"one!"

"What?" Fan Jiaxiao thought he had misheard. "One person? Who? Are you sure he's not a messenger delivering a letter, but someone who's here to challenge you?"

"Chen Sanshi!"

The subordinate replied, "He claims to be Chen Sanshi and wants to see you, Master Fourteen."

"it is good!"

There was a flash of murderous intent in Fan Jiaxiao's eyes.

"Fourteenth Master, no!"

Lang Jiping hurriedly stopped him and said, "This man is full of tricks. How could he run to the front of the battle alone to die? In my opinion, it is nine out of ten that he is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. I will lead 500 light cavalry to go there, and the Fourteenth Master still needs to stay in the main camp to prevent them from attacking the camp."

"Ah."

Fan Jiaxiao quickly calmed down: "Then go ahead, but remember to be careful."

"Don't worry, Master Fourteen. He is just one man. Can he kill all five hundred riders? At most, he can try to lure me into an ambush. I won't fall for it."

Lang Jiping said this and left in a hurry.

Outside the gate of Nanxu Village.

Chen Sanshi sat high on his horse and said, "Listen, Nanxu bandits! I am General Huaiyuan Chen Sanshi, leading 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend Hulao. Once Yongle Prefecture is broken, I will go south to Lingzhou and strangle you 100,000 rabble! I come here today to give you a chance to surrender. If you don't know what's good for you, you will die!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense!"

Lang Jiping rode his warhorse to the gate of the stronghold and said, "You are Chen Sanshi?! I thought you were a resourceful man, but it turns out you are just good at talking! There are only 3,000 people in Hulao Pass, but in your mouth, they become 30,000!"

"What a joke! Is it necessary for Mr. Chen to tell you a lie?"

Chen Sanshi sneered and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the number of three thousand should have been told to you by Tang Wang Li Gong, right?"

Lang Jiping remained silent, which was considered as his agreement.

"Think about it carefully, Nan Xu!"

Chen Sanshi said in a high voice: "If he told you the truth, would you still help him to attack Hulao Pass? Of course he would understate the number of Dasheng's troops so that he could trick you into working for Qing, right? If I am not mistaken, Li Gong should also tell you that there is no general in Hulao Pass, right?"

"nonsense!"

Lang Jiping narrowed his eyes: "If there are still generals, will it be your turn to lead?!"

"Whether it is or not, you will know it soon!"

Chen Sanshi said, "If the war goes against Qing, maybe they will join us in attacking your Xu! I said so much because I don't want your country to be kept in the dark by the Qing people. You better be careful!"

"It's full of nonsense!"

The corners of Lang Jiping's mouth suddenly curled up into a sinister smile: "Mr. Chen, what do you think this general wants to do by talking nonsense with you for so long? Get off your horse and surrender, maybe I can spare your life!"

"Da da da--"

Just as the words fell.

On the plains on both sides, the deafening sound of horse hooves could be heard, and more than a hundred riders on each side were coming towards the middle to encircle them.

"Chen Sanshi!"

Lang Jiping sneered, "What a bullshit story of crossing the Hongze River four times, thousands of troops avoiding the white robes, let's see how you can leave our Daxu military camp today, brothers, attack!"

Front, left, right.

three directions.

There were more than five hundred riders in total.

These were deployed when Lang Jiping just arrived. The purpose of the conversation was to delay time and surround Chen Sanshi.

No matter how good he was at fighting, he would be defeated if he was delayed by the cavalry for a moment.

The brothers in the camp behind him will come in endless numbers soon and will drown him to death!
Moreover, considering the current distance, it is impossible to escape.

"You Nanxu are all treacherous!"

Chen Sanshi on horseback cursed calmly, "I came here with good intentions to advise you, but you actually used such a despicable method to harm me. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye? I'm afraid I can't say goodbye!"

Lang Jiping whipped his horsewhip and the horse under his crotch galloped forward at full speed.

It was at this time.

The white horse in front neighed, and instantly turned into a white afterimage. The horse's hooves seemed to be flying in the air without touching the ground. The speed was incredibly fast. It escaped before the encirclement was completed, and left them far behind after a few breaths.

"What a fast horse!"

"This horse is a strange beast!"

Lang Jiping gritted his teeth.

He suddenly felt his face turn red.

All the big words I said before have become a joke.

Chen Sanshi came alone to challenge us, he had something to rely on, and he had even planned that he would secretly send people to surround us.

"Commander Lang, are you still chasing?"

Another lieutenant general, Yue Chen, asked.

"Chase the hell!"

Lang Jiping gritted his teeth and said, "He must be ambushed by doing this. If we chase him, we will fall into his trap! Return to camp!"

"call out--"

"呲-"

There was a sharp sound of wind, followed by the sound of armor colliding.

An armored soldier was shot directly through the heart by a sharp three-edged armor-piercing arrow. The solid iron armor was like paper and could not block the arrow at all.

"General!" "The man surnamed Chen is back again!"

Three hundred steps away, Chen Sanshi, who had just escaped, turned back. He raised the iron tire in his hand, and no one could see how he moved. Only a "whoosh" sound was heard, and then three more cavalrymen fell off their horses.

"This is too much!
Lang Jiping cursed: "I've heard that this man was born a hunter and is good at using bows and arrows. From 300 steps away, he can shoot with such power. It seems that not only is his aim good, but his arrows are also over 50 stone!"

"General of a high level, bows and arrows are useless!"

"I just don't believe it!"

As Yue Chen spoke, he drew the long sword from his waist and rushed out first. He saw with his own eyes that the other party drew his bow and arrow again, and with a light wave of the long sword, he was about to deflect the arrow.

"Buzz!"

next moment.

He only felt that the arrow flying in front of him was like a killing move chopped out by a warrior himself, carrying a powerful and domineering force, which directly knocked the long sword away. Then he felt a chill in his throat, a feeling of suffocation, dizziness, blackening in front of his eyes, and finally he lost consciousness and fell straight on the grass with his eyes open.

Kill the lieutenant general with one arrow!

"Crash-"

The five hundred cavalrymen who witnessed this scene were horrified.

"Can your arrow carry power?!"

Lang Jiping couldn't believe it.

He had never heard of such a magical weapon in the world.

"Shhhhh-"

Arrows came again.

Chen Sanshi sat on Qianxun, with seven or eight quivers hanging on both sides. The bowstring in his hand was buzzing, almost like a musical instrument, except that every note represented a life.

"What are you standing there for, horse archer? Fight back, fight back!"

Lang Jiping, who was hiding in the crowd, shouted loudly: "The rest of you, go ahead. He is alone, how can he shoot you all to death? Go ahead. Whoever can kill him, no, whoever can hold him back will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and advance three levels!"

Under a great reward.

The cavalrymen mustered up their courage and controlled their horses to charge towards the white horse in front.

however……

The speed at which this young general drew his bow and shot arrows was beyond everyone's imagination. Basically, every time he blinked an eye, at least two brothers fell off their horses.

The black mass of cavalry had suffered many casualties by the time they rushed to the front, and they had become so sparse that they could hardly maintain their formation.

It was at this time.

Chen Sanshi retreated again, easily creating distance between them.

As for Nanxu's horse archers...

Their effective range is only a little over a hundred steps.

The range of General Bai Ma is three hundred steps!
Almost a mile!

At this distance, they had difficulty seeing the outline of General Bai Ma.

With such a huge gap, the bows and arrows in their hands became completely useless!
After a few rounds of sprinting.

Five hundred cavalrymen!

Only the last two hundred left!

"General! I can't catch up!"

Hundreds of cavalrymen were like the enemy's playthings.

"withdraw!"

Lang Jiping felt extremely frustrated.

He didn't even bother to care about the ambush anymore, he just wanted to chase after him and kill him as soon as possible, but the problem was...

There's no way to catch up!
If this continues, I'm afraid they will all die one after another under the enemy's arrows.

Give an order.

The remaining two hundred or so riders changed direction and fled out of the stronghold.

however.

Something even more terrible happened.

them……

Can't withdraw!
Just as it had escaped effortlessly before, the white horse caught up with them with equal ease, following closely behind, no more, no less, exactly three hundred steps away, and Chen Sanshi on the horse was reaping lives.

The man and the horse were relaxed as if they were just out for a walk.

But for the Nanxu cavalry, it was a terrible nightmare.

Can't catch up, can't run away!
They seemed not like human beings, but prey fallen into the trap of an old hunter!
"General! I-We're surrounded!"

Under a terrible feeling of oppression.

The Nanxu cavalrymen felt as if there were thousands of troops following them. They collapsed and screamed, no longer having any thoughts of resistance. They only hoped to return to the big village and hide there to save their lives.

"A bunch of trash!"

"Get out of here first!"

Lang Jiping was so angry that he suddenly turned around and rushed towards Bai Hu Ma, holding a wolf-tooth pickaxe in his hand, and chose to follow behind.

Since then.

If Bai Ma is withdrawn, the rest of the men can survive.

If Bai Ma didn't retreat, he would be able to get close quickly and find an opportunity to fight him, so he wouldn't die in vain.

"call out--"

A three-edged armor-piercing arrow carrying the power of a true dragon came whizzing towards them.

Lang Jiping dared not underestimate the enemy, and he used almost all his strength to attack the arrow. He finally blocked it, but under the terrible impact, the warhorse under his crotch could not bear it and its front hooves raised to the sky.

Another arrow was shot immediately afterwards, and this arrow directly killed the warhorse.

"boom!"

Langji landed smoothly

Bai Hu Ma continued to charge forward without stopping, and at this moment they were only a hundred steps apart.

Lang Jiping's blood-bursting state was fully activated, and all his strength was put into speed. The full-strength burst of a high-level warrior in a short period of time could easily surpass most exotic beasts and horses, but it only lasted for a short time.

He also didn't plan to resist the arrows head-on, as that would only exhaust himself. Instead, he planned to use his explosive speed to dodge the arrows while approaching quickly.

Fight!

These two words became Lang Jiping's biggest thought at this moment.

No matter how bad he is, he won't die without even being able to see the opponent's spear skills inherited from Sun Xiangzong. As long as they can fight, even if he dies, he will die without regrets!
"boom--"

With his body overloaded, Lang Jiping turned into a shadow and moved forward at an indescribable speed. His movements were as erratic as a ghost, with no fixed pattern.

Eighty steps!
Fifty steps!
The last thirty steps!

The man surnamed Chen just pulled the bowstring to its full extent but did not shoot any more arrows.

really.

With this speed and agility, Mr. Chen had no way of aiming at all!

Until the last twenty steps.

"Buzz!"

The sound of the bowstring was heard again.

Lang Jiping had been prepared for a long time. He changed direction with a strange posture and left his original position in a moment. However... he failed to avoid the arrow.

He clearly saw that the shot was not directed in this direction.

He should have dodged it!
How can it be!

He had no time to think about the reason. He could only transfer his strength into the black iron wolf tooth pickaxe again and smash it towards the arrow, hoping to use the same trick again to block the arrow.

But this time...

What he saw was not an arrow.

But a...

Dragon!

"boom--"

This arrow contained a force as vast as the sea, which swallowed it like a mad dragon. After colliding with the wolf-tooth pickaxe, it made a sound like striking a bronze bell.

Lang Jiping's arms were numb and his knuckles were cracked. Even though he tried his best to hold the weapon tightly and prevent it from slipping out of his hand, his body was still blown away more than ten steps by the brutal force and hit the hard yellow earth.

"Om-"

The third arrow did not come quickly.

The time given was enough for Lang Jiping to regain his balance. He burst out his last strength like a dying beast and dodged to the flank. This time, he could see it clearly and he was definitely able to avoid it.

But rather...

Still couldn't dodge!

The arrows shot by this person are really like a living dragon, unavoidable and deadly!

"呲-"

The heart-protecting mirror exploded.

A three-edged arrow chiseled through his armor, then easily broke his bones, and finally pierced his heart and completely penetrated his body. Even though it didn't go through his body, the force contained in it blew his heart into pieces.

"Ho..."

Lang Jiping's pupils bulged and blood gushed out of his mouth like a fountain. He grabbed the arrow shaft on his chest and fell backwards stiffly. He couldn't figure it out until his death, and he was not able to fight until his death. Even if he wanted to fight, he was not qualified!

Finally, he lost his breath in a pool of blood, but his eyes never closed again.

"Pfft!"

Chen Sanshi rode by on Qianxun and retrieved the arrow that was embedded in the opponent's body. There were only twelve of these arrows made of ghost vein wood, so they naturally could not be wasted.

The reason why he didn't rush to shoot the arrow before was that he was accumulating strength.

This lieutenant general, whose name is unknown, is after all at the minor success level of Tongmai. If he does not accumulate strength and simply uses the strength of the Tongmai mastery level, I am afraid that three ghost meridian arrows will not be enough to kill him.

"drive!"

After recycling.

Chen Sanshi once again caught up with the fleeing Nanxu cavalry.

Everything that happened before only took a dozen or so breaths of time.

As arrows were shot one after another, the remaining hundred or so riders were soon reduced to only a dozen or so, most of whom were warriors in the Hua Jin realm, and needed the Ghost Vein Wood to be killed quickly.

This place is very close to the enemy camp and is not suitable for staying for a long time, but Chen Sanshi wanted to save time and was reluctant to waste the Ghost Vein Arrow, so he simply rushed into the crowd with a spear. No one was his match. Every time the Five Tigers Soul-Breaking Spear flashed a cold light, there was a sound of a corpse falling to the ground, followed by the frightened warhorse fleeing in panic.

"Boom, boom, boom--"

The deafening sound of horse hooves rang out, and more than 3,000 cavalrymen from the Southern Xu Kingdom arrived.

Chen Sanshi deliberately left two people alive and then reined in his horse and disappeared.

……

Fan Jiaxiao was really worried in the military camp, so after making arrangements to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp, he prepared to lead people out to take a look.

Let’s see what Chen Sanshi is trying to do by running to the Nanxu military camp alone.

then……

He saw corpses all over the ground!
Almost every corpse had an arrow embedded in the chest at the position of the heart. It looked like there were at least hundreds of archers forming an arrow formation, and each of them was a rare archer!

"There's an ambush!"

"Array up!"

Fan Jiaxiao shouted.

Three thousand cavalrymen formed a defensive formation and slowly advanced forward.

After walking forward a few hundred steps.

I saw two remaining soldiers running back screaming.

"what happened?!"

Fan Jiaxiao asked, "Where is Lieutenant General Lang? Where is the ambush?"

"Master Fourteen! There are no ambushes, Master Fourteen. We are surrounded... There are arrows everywhere!"

"Puff-"

Bai Zong, who had managed to escape with his life, fell off his horse. He looked back from time to time, trying to see if the white horse that was trying to take his life had caught up with him. He even spoke incoherently.

"No ambush, but we are surrounded?!"

Fan Jiaxiao frowned: "Asshole! Do you want to listen to what you are saying?!"

"It's Chen Sanshi, the one riding a white horse!"

Another person retained some sanity: "He is alone, we can't stop him, we can't catch up with him, and we can't run away!!"

"You mean to say that he alone killed 500 riders of my Great Xu?!"

Fan Jiaxiao got the answer from the other party's frightened face: "How is it possible! Five hundred cavalry! There are a full five hundred cavalry! Among them, there are two Tongmai realm alone, and countless Huajin realm. Even if Chen Sanshi is smart and strategic, he is only at the Tongmai realm. Are you all pigs?!"

What's even scarier is.

Judging from the corpse.

Most of them died from arrow wounds.

A man, a bow and arrow, and a white horse!
Also, how could a bow and arrow kill a general at the Tongmai realm? Isn’t this ridiculous!

Behind Fan Jiaxiao, thousands of cavalrymen were in an uproar, as if they had heard a fairy tale.

"Five hundred people..."

"Two generals!"

"They were all killed without even touching it?!"

"..."

"There are actually such fierce people in the world?"

"How can this be!"

"..."

Just when the Nanxu cavalry was in shock, a loud voice resounded through the world.

"Fourteen children——"

"Why didn't you come when Chen came to talk to you? That's really rude. Take my arrow!"

One mile away.

A figure appeared that looked like just a white dot.

By the time they heard the sound, an arrow was already coming towards them. Fan Jiaxiao was horrified and hurriedly drew the sword at his waist to block it. Then he realized that the arrow might be unusual.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was heard, and the arrow chiseled out sparks on the sword.

Even at the last moment, Fan Jiaxiao used his strength to support himself in time, but he was still blown backwards by the overwhelming force and fell off his horse, causing chaos.

"Protect the Fourteenth Master!"

"Formation!"

"Boom!"

The cavalry surrounded the enemy and formed a human wall in front.

"Shhhhh-"

More than a dozen arrows were shot in succession, and all of them, except the senior generals, were killed on the spot!
"Shield!"

"Shield!"

The heavy black iron shield arrived late.

"This damn arrow can actually store energy!"

Fan Jiaxiao picked up the arrow that shot him, broke it in anger and threw it away: "Chase him!"

"Master Fourteen, the person is missing!"

"..."

"Shhhhh-"

"Chase!"

"The person left again!"

Repeat this five or six times.

The Nanxu cavalry lost more than a hundred people.

In just half an hour, six hundred were killed by one person!

"retreat!"

Even Fan Jiaxiao began to tremble with fear: "Quickly retreat back to the camp, everyone must hold their ground!"

Even after they retreated back to the barracks.

General Bai Ma also chased after them and shot and killed more than ten people.

The situation was not completely quelled until a shield formation was set up on the periphery.

"Ambush! Set up an ambush on the flank in advance! If he dares to come again, he will never come back!"

Fan Jiaxiao recalled the scene just now, still with lingering fear: "Go to the rear to find my brother, and ask him to send a general as soon as possible, go--"

It seems.

If there is no Xuan Xiang realm master in charge of the front army, let alone attacking, it would be difficult for them to even set up camp safely.

……

Chinese army.

Ran Jingxuan gently put down the information in his hand: "We only remember Chen Sanshi's military strategy, but we ignore his talent for cultivating meridians after only two years of martial arts training..."

“This is too exaggerated.”

Fan Shuzhen found it hard to accept and said, "Normally speaking, if a Xuan Xiang realm general is trapped in a death formation, when the enemy army has generals of the same realm, at most an additional 500 to 600 armors can be broken. Not to mention that the front army had two Tongmai at that time, and he escaped unscathed. No, it should be said that he was not even injured. If he waits until his realm is higher in the future, will we still have to fight?"

"Notify General Peng."

Ran Jingxuan said helplessly: "Let him come back from Ziwei Mountain and go directly to the front army. After you and I stabilize the situation in Lingzhou, we will immediately set off for Hulao Pass."

"military adviser."

Fan Shuzhen asked, "After Peng Yunheng arrives, should we let them attack twice to test their strength? After all, Chen Sanshi said that there are 30,000 troops in Hulao Pass. Li Gong is lying to us."

"No."

Ran Jingxuan rejected the idea and said, "Chen Sanshi did this not to show off his prowess, but on purpose. The soldiers in the front army will probably be scared out of their wits. Their morale has plummeted before the battle even begins. If we forcefully attack the city at this time, no matter how many people go, they will die. It is impossible to take it down. How about this? Replace the left army with the front army, and wait for General Peng to arrive at the front. After resting for seven days, we can attack the city."

"Listen to the military advisor."

……

evening.

Chen Sanshi did not repeat his previous routine. It might be okay to take the enemy by surprise once or twice, but if he turned back now, he would definitely fall into the encirclement prepared in advance.

[Skill: Archery. Perfection (Breaking Limit Level 1)]

[Progress: (248/2000)]

Just as he had expected before, the bow and arrow that can store energy is a deadly weapon on the battlefield. When combined with Qianxun, the effect displayed is something that even a Martial Saint cannot achieve.

A martial saint also needs to fight face to face.

But he came and went without a trace, and took people's lives a mile away. How could the enemy not be afraid?
The purpose is achieved.

This is not just a question of morale!

From this moment on, the enemy's defeat began to emerge quietly.

A hundred thousand troops?

Three thousand mysterious armors may not be unbreakable!
