Dragon Warrior

Chapter 164

After several hours like this, he finally connected the sword, but did not let go of Dongying Sword Master Liu Sheng Yunshang also came to ask for help to reconnect the Moon Sword.Zhang Wuji agreed, but Wu Jincao's physical strength was long exhausted when he connected the Dragon Slaying Saber and Yitian Sword.

King Ruyang may have arrived not long ago, so he had to hurry up and arrange for the soldiers to set up camp. Therefore, it was not until the afternoon that Yuan soldiers began to tentatively attack the mountain.

However, although their cavalry is powerful, they are useless in the Gongshan battle. They can only dismount and hold spears, and advance inch by inch.

The mountain roads are narrow and dangerous, one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. Although martial arts masters are not good at fighting on the battlefield, fighting in small areas such as dangerous places is their strong point.Heroes from all walks of life were assigned to different places according to their martial arts level and proficiency in martial arts. They cooperated with the Mingjiao's long-time battle-hardened congregants, and each played a great role, making it difficult for Yuan soldiers to move an inch.

The stalemate lasted for several days, although the number of yuan soldiers was several times that of the heroes, but everywhere they went, they were all stubbornly resisting, making their advance very slow.At this speed, even if the heroes cannot turn defeat into victory, they will be able to last until reinforcements arrive.

King Ruyang was very determined. Although the loss was not small, he had no intention of stopping the war. The offensive was like a tide, and each wave became stronger.

Seven days later, the heroes once again discussed matters in the palace.Xiao Jing said: "What do you think of the situation in front of you?"

After many days of stalemate fighting, the heroes also lost a lot, but the big guys are in a good mood, and the pressure and sorrow of the Mongol soldiers are swept away.

Zhang Wuji said: "Although we can't defeat the Tartars, they won't be able to breach Kunlun Mountain in a short period of time, even the secret road of Guangming Peak is blocked by us, unless there is a major change, we can wait until the reinforcements arrive. "

Abbot Kong Wen said: "That's right, we fought in frontal battles, we can't defeat more than 2 Tartars, but we are not afraid of such a condescending defensive battle, now we just need to wait for King Ruyang to take the initiative to retreat, and this catastrophe will be over gone."

Xiao Jing was not as optimistic as they were, he said: "King Ruyang is a great expert in the use of soldiers in this world, we can all understand things, he will not be clear? But since he knows that there is nothing we can do, he still keeps on attacking without any hesitation. No attitude of giving up, there must be something strange in it."

Guan Neng said: "Could it be that you want to kill a few more people to vent your anger?"

Xiao Jing said: "The general will not be motivated by anger. King Ruyang is definitely not a reckless and unscrupulous person. I think he may have some backhands. We have to guard against it."

The heroes pondered on their own, secretly guessing the real purpose and means of King Ruyang, but although there are many smart and wise people among these people, most of them know nothing about military affairs, how can they guess what King Ruyang is thinking.

At this moment, a deafening sound came from down the mountain. The sound was extremely loud, like thunder, and the dust on the beams in the hall fell down.

The heroes turned pale with fright, not knowing why.

Zhang Songxi yelled and said: "No, this is the returning cannon of the Tartars."

Xiao Jing's heart sank suddenly, and he said: "If it is true, it will be really troublesome."

Zhang Wuji said: "Fourth Uncle, are you sure this is the return cannon, not some other trebuchet?"

Zhang Songxi said: "My Wudang faction is very close to Xiangyang. I know a lot about the battle of Xiangyang back then. I am familiar with the characteristics of the return cannon. It is definitely the return cannon that can make such a sound."

Zhang Wuji said: "Is the cannon really invincible this time?"

Zhang Songxi said: "Given the fortifications of Xiangyang and Fancheng back then, the heroes of martial arts united into one city and still suffered hatred under the return cannon, what's more, the defense power is so different from the fortified city now?"

Xiao Jing sighed and said: "It seems that King Ruyang has made a great determination to kill us all. He must have been waiting for this sharp weapon to arrive all this time."

Just as he was talking, suddenly a few Ming Cultists came rushing outside, and said: "The number of soldiers and horses in Yuanting suddenly increased, and the pressure in various places increased greatly. It is no longer possible to hold on to the original position."

Everyone was shocked, Kong Wen said: "King Ruyang only has more than 2 people, and all of them have already been suppressed during this period of time. Where did more soldiers come from?"

Xiao Jing said: "The cavalry he personally brought was only more than 2, but there may be more infantry coming later, or the nearby local army may be recruited. These people may not be able to fight in the field, but it is still possible to attack the mountain with ants. "

Zhang Wuji said worriedly: "Huhuipao is already unstoppable, but now there are new troops joining, the situation is in danger."

Xiao Jing let out a long sigh, and said: "At first I didn't want to do this, but the situation has collapsed to this point, so this is the only way to go."

Song Yuanqiao said: "Could it be that Xiao Daxia has some clever plan?"

Xiao Jing said: "There is no clever plan, but there is a stupid way."

Song Yuanqiao said: "You might as well talk and listen."

Xiao Jing said: "Shoot people first, shoot horses, capture thieves first, and capture the king. Since we can't resist a frontal battle, we can only win by surprise. As long as we capture King Ruyang, they will naturally retreat obediently."

Miejue Shitai said: "King Ruyang has [-] troops under his command, and the camp of the Chinese army must be heavily guarded. If you want to capture him alive in the midst of thousands of troops, it will be as difficult as going to heaven!"

Xiao Jing said: "In the past few days, I have often read Wu Mu's suicide note to see if I can find a way to defeat the enemy. The current situation of our mansion is very similar to the situation of Prince Yue's 'soldiers trapped in Niutoushan'."

Abbot Kong Wen said: "I would like to hear the details."

Xiao Jing said: "It is about how Song Gaozong and Yue Wangye were surrounded by the Jin army, how they escaped from the middle way, how they stood out from the surprise soldiers, and how they won a complete victory by attacking from both inside and outside. All kinds of strategies are described in detail. The situation on Kunlun Mountain, Although it is very different from Yue Wumu's situation when he was trapped in Niutoushan, but with his will, he can't win by surprise."

Zhang Wuji said: "I would like to ask Brother Xiao to show me how to proceed."

Xiao Jing thought about it and said: "With few enemies, we can't win with an upright formation. There are so many Tartars, if we swarm forward regardless of our lives, we will be hard to resist after all. But if we win by surprise, it's another matter. My opinion The masters of all Qi factions descended from the secret road of Guangmingding to the foot of the mountain, and caught the Tartars by surprise. The Mingjiao Five Elements Banners and people from various factions who stayed on the mountain could take the opportunity to counterattack. Formation. Let's take this opportunity to go straight into the central army and capture King Ruyang."

He paused for a moment, and then said: "However, unless the leader of the Ming Cult cannot enter the Secret Way of the Brightness, you need to be more flexible with the brothers of the Ming Cult."

Zhang Wuji said: "The matter is urgent, I will temporarily abolish this canon as the current leader."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a moment, they all felt that it was feasible.Song Yuanqiao said: "I would like to ask Chief Xiao Xiang to explain how to arrange it."

Xiao Jing said: "Let's gather a group of light kung fu masters and go down the mountain first. The purpose is to bluff and confuse the Tartars, making them think that we want to escape and send troops to chase them. Take this opportunity to attract their attention and disperse their army. "

Then he pointed to a screen wall in the hall, and said: "Heroes, who feel that they are good at lightness kung fu, are willing to go to lure the enemy, and can jump up this screen wall, please do your part."

Zhang Songxi came out in line with the crowd and said: "I can jump up. I am willing to take the lead and lead the army away from the Tartars." As he spoke, he jumped up to the screen wall and turned down from the other side lightly. , with Zhang Songxi's ability, jumping over this screen wall can be said to be effortless, but he didn't show off, just obediently obeyed the order to jump over.

Then all the heroes who chose to lure the enemy obeyed one by one. I saw the heroes jump over the wall one after another like butterflies wearing flowers. No one will try the rest.

Xiao Jing said: "Very good, Zhang Sixia of Wudang is very resourceful and willing to take the lead, so you are in charge of this operation, how about it?"

Although Zhang Songxi felt that he was young and inexperienced, and feared that Nan Fu would be popular, but Xiao Jing ordered him to do so, so he had no choice but to follow through.

Xiao Jing said again: "Among the rest of the people, there are heroes with high martial arts skills and excellent swordsmanship, you can go down the mountain with me to capture people. The rest of the people should prepare themselves in the mountain. Immediately gather the Five Elements Banners to launch a counterattack, in order to make it difficult for the Tartars to distinguish reality from reality, and not know our true intentions."

Zhang Wuji said, "When will we do it?"

Xiao Jing said: "We act at the third watch tonight. This time period is the most difficult time for the human body, and the Tartars must be relaxed. Moreover, the situation at night is chaotic, so it is difficult for the Tartars to distinguish the situation, but it is more conducive to us in the martial arts. But When Mingjiao re-opens the secret passage, we must pay attention, the Tartars may send some people to watch, and we must not be hurt by them."

At present, Xiao Jing once again assigns them one by one, who will lure the enemy, who will ambush, who will break the rear, who will attack the fortress, and who will attack the flank, all are arranged in detail.Yang Xiao and the others saw that his plan was ingenious, and that his formation to meet the enemy was so well-organized. If there was a premeditated plan, they were all surprised, but they didn't know that he was using the method left by Yue Wumu, only slightly changed due to the different terrain and different subordinates. .

After the crowd dispersed, each acted according to the order.Xiao Jing returned to the room, quietly thinking about the situation and the action plan for the night.From the very beginning, he wasn't worried about it. For the first time, King Ruyang wanted to attack the main road where thousands of heroes from all walks of life assisted Mingjiao disciples to defend it.Secondly, even if the situation is defeated, he still has the confidence to retreat unscathed.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Zhao Min walked in.In the past few days, she was not in a high mood and looked a little haggard.

Although Xiao Jing knew that she was resourceful, she might have a way.But then I thought about it: "She is the princess of the imperial court. She betrayed her father and brother and followed me. It is too difficult for her to make her plan to kill her own Mongolian and deal with her own father and brother." Therefore, I never asked her a question. suggestion.

Zhao Min sat beside him, sighed, and said, "I'm glad you can understand my difficulties. But now the situation is critical, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Jing said with a smile: "To be honest, I plan to invite my father-in-law to have a cup of tea tonight, as a thank you for giving birth to such a precious daughter, and let me enjoy the tenderness in my life."

Zhao Min's face turned red first, then turned pale again, and hurriedly said: "You want to attack my father?"

Xiao Jing hugged her in his arms and said: "Don't worry, I won't hurt him, I just want him to come up and wait for a while, and send him back after the Yuan soldiers retreat."

Zhao Min raised his head and said, "Do you two insist on fighting each other? You know, no matter who hurts who, it is an unbearable pain for me."

Xiao Jing said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt him, and I won't let him hurt me. Get a good sleep, and tomorrow you father and daughter will be reunited."

Zhao Mindao: "The war is fierce and dangerous, how can you guarantee it? You two are the most important people in my life. I absolutely don't want anything to happen to either of you, and I don't even want to see the two of you facing each other."

Xiao Jing hugged her tightly, and said: "I know! I don't want to use such a method, but it's no longer necessary. I assure you, after this time, I will never shoot him personally .”

Zhao Min stood up suddenly and said, "Why don't we just break through tonight, with you and your sister's martial arts, it's enough to protect the rest of us and kill them out. Let's go far away from now on, wander the world, find a place where no one knows and have fun After a lifetime, don't get involved in these fights again, okay?"

Xiao Jing remained silent and did not speak, but hugged her tightly in her arms again.

Knowing his intentions, Zhao Min felt helpless, and suddenly a drop of cold tears leaked from her closed eyes.
