Chapter 2

18days ago Xuanhuan Novels 6
On the eighth day of November

In front of the White Tiger Gate of Nangong, the desolate horn sounded again

The Heron had been commanding the soldiers to fight for a day and night, but his face was still without any fatigue. Instead, he was calm and composed as if he had just woken up. More than a hundred Yue cavalrymen were lined up in a geese formation. They held the reins in one hand and the silver halberd about a hamlet in the other hand, and the halberd was about 100 feet long in the same hand. The halberd was straight forward.

Further forward, there are the drivers of the Tiger Army in front of the five chariots. The horses were covered with heavy armor. The heavy carriages were covered with iron sheets on all sides, just like copper walls and iron walls.

There were three soldiers standing in the car, one in the middle held a crossbow, and two next to him were holding a long spear suitable for chariot fighting. In addition, each of them wore a ring-headed knife, and there were spears, short swords and heavy shields used for cemetery battles.

Before burning the arsenal, Gang He ordered people to take away a large amount of weapons. It can be said that at this time, Liu Jian's rebellious army had the most excellent equipment from the Han Dynasty and even the Six Dynasties.

But this did not bring overwhelming advantage to the rioters. At the other end of the square, the young man in white holding the Fang Tian Painting Ji was simply an invincible existence, especially in the eighth battle that had just ended, he brazenly overturned a Wugang car with his own strength, and no one dared to capture his sharpness anymore.

Some people are born to be suitable for the battlefield. Herons hold the cold iron Ruyi and look motionless, such as Lu Fengxian

Qi Yuxian showed a trace of solemnity. Lu Fengxian's cultivation was not as top-notch. But when he stepped on the red rabbit horse, he was like a square rabbit halberd on his arm and four horse legs under his body. He had infinite strength. He was invincible in the battle alone. In terms of horse battles, except for Hou Xuan and others, there were only a few people in the world who were his opponents. His sense of smell on the battlefield was even more keen and surprisingly, the heron set up a few ambushes and carefully arranged them, but he was surrounded by him in the last confrontation. The heron tried his best to set up a killing formation specifically for Lu Fengxian. However, Lu Fengxian passed by and failed once or twice. Maybe it was luck. This was the case every time. It can only be said that he was born to be suitable for this battlefield.

The heron turned his head, and I wanted to ask: Why didn’t you kill him that day?

That was just an accident. Qi Yuxian didn't want to say more and said, "But he was just one person after all, what I want to ask is: How long will it take? Our new emperor is already anxious and asked again: Now you already have five Northern Army troops, plus three thousand loyal patriots, how long will you have to deal with them?"

After Liu Jian obtained the Yue cavalry and the two armies of the cavalry, his strength increased greatly. Both the troops and equipment were overwhelming the Lu family. However, the Lu family always controlled the portal of the Baihumen, the Nangong, which made Liu Jian unable to sleep or eat, and was even more dissatisfied with the Heron, who was known as proficient in military tactics.

The heron rubbed Tie Ruyi and said: The Lü family still has a trump card yet

Are you talking about the dead soldiers? Qi Yuxian said disapprovingly: Xian Ji is ready to kill all the families of the Lu family as long as they dare to abandon the nest, we can kill all the Lu family.

Not them

Who is that?

The heron pointed to the head, feeling

Qi Yuxian said: Bai Yi once calculated that Liu Jian was the emperor, but he couldn't calculate what Lu's tricks he had.

If someone disturbs the secrets of heaven, it is expected that if they can't calculate it, such as Liao Fu, and those Hu Wu, they are also in chaos when they calculate.

But at least Bai Yi calculated that Lu Ji was about to die, and the Lu family was defeated. Qi Yu Xian said: Luo is all in the capital, and neither Xian Ji nor Liu Jian were willing to delay the war.

The heron hung his head and thought for a while. There were some things I didn’t understand, such as: Do you want me to conquer the White Tiger Sect or defeat the Lü family?

Qi Yuxian raised his eyebrows, is there any difference?

If the White Tiger Sect is in the hands of the Lü family, the competitors on this battlefield are to capture the White Tiger Sect by three parties, and we will fight against two with one. The heron uses iron Ruyi and a finger from a distance, Changqiu Palace is in the palace

Qi Yuxian frowned and fought bloody battles in Age, but whether it was Heron or Jiang Chong, they deliberately avoided Changqiu Palace during the battle, and were unwilling to provoke another opponent. However, in Qi Yuxian's view, this is also because Changqiu Palace's strength is too weak. No matter who wins in the end, Changqiu Palace can only bow its head, otherwise they can destroy the guards of Changqiu Palace at will.

But until now, the strength of all parties is quietly changing. Starting from a Sima of the Hu Ben Army, people keep getting out of the battlefield and seeking the Changqiu Palace

The military power of Changqiu Palace has expanded to 400 people. If the queen had not had a bad reputation, this number would have expanded further.

Qi Yuxian snorted, businessman tricks

Thanks to Lu Jujun, Zhao Fei Yàn's reputation among the people has become extremely bad. There are chaos in the palace. Not to mention that someone defected, the guards should have scattered. I never thought that Changqiu Palace would use a large amount of money to win people's hearts. Not only did Changqiu Palace not have any trouble, but it also attracted many villains who were greedy for profit.

In addition, Jin Midi and Cai Jingzhong, one outside and one inside, made Changqiu Palace safe alone in chaos.

Others may not know that Qi Yuxian knew the role of Cheng Zongyang in it, and the Lu family was deeply rooted in the Han Dynasty. Xian Ji also operated in the Han Dynasty for many years. Unexpectedly, the Young Master Cheng had to put together a group of people. It was also a skill to do this. Qi Yuxian saw it and had to admire his methods.

But what she admired even more was that the current situation of Xian Ji was already expected by Xian Ji. The Young Master Cheng came forward and gathered the forces in the cracks. If he could do something that Xian Ji was inconvenient to do and could not do, there would be a backup plan for Xian Ji. At that time, his hard work would be made for Xian Ji.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuxian felt better again and chuckled: Ignore the president of Chang Qiugong. She said with a hint of teasing: Maybe the situation will change, and we have to rely on them to overcome the difficulties.

The heron suddenly raised his head and looked at the dense clouds in the sky

Qi Yuxian felt a thrill, and then raised her head, and saw a few crystal white spots in the night sky reddished by the fire.

The heron suddenly said: When is it?

It's already midnight

That's the eighth day of the lunar month. The heron took a breath and said slowly: It's heavy snow today

Qi Yuxian frowned and said: Where can there be heavy snow? As she said that, she realized that today is a heavy snow day for the twenty-four solar terms.

Qi Yuxian's brows became tighter and tighter, but we have seen the astronomical phenomena, and there has been no wind and snow these days

Obviously someone changed the celestial phenomena. The Heron said coldly: What a Runan Liao Fu

The fine white snow rose down, at first just snow particles, falling on the armor and making a light sound

Then it turned into soft snowflakes, and then it became bigger and bigger. First, it was as thin as light as a trouser, gradually like goose feathers. It became palm-sized in less than a cup of tea, and it was even bigger.

Huge snowflakes covered layer by layer, covering the entire sky. Under the reflection of the fire, some snowflakes fell on the horses, and even covered the entire eyes of the war horses, causing the war horses to be restless and restless.

At this moment, the sound of heavy objects dragging outside the White Tiger Gate seemed to be trembling slightly

The Changshui Army, loyal to the Lu family, was also arranged in a geese formation. The Hu riders on the horse bent down one after another, stroking the horse's hair while making a sound, comforting the mount. Then, a huge figure appeared in the gap in the formation.

The man was extremely large. Even when he stood on the ground, he was a little taller than the Hu soldiers riding on the horses next to him. He was wearing simple leather armor, a bronze mirror tied with a leather rope on his chest, and his bare legs and arms were covered with black and thick mane. His huge head was like a wild beast, with two pairs of fangs in his mouth, and thick white air spurted out of his nostrils.

Beast Barbarian! Qi Yuxian screamed: Where did the Beast Barbarian come from!

Heron said calmly: It's the beast servant in the city

Some wealthy businessmen in Luodu like to raise beast barbarians as slaves to show off their financial resources, but due to the impact of the calculating order, many merchants are dismissing their slaves, and these beast barbarians are also among them.

The Hero regretted it a little. He only cared about summoning servants from various clans, but ignored the fact that these beast barbarians were not many beast barbarians who were slaves, and Luo couldn't get many.

In the battle formation of the rebels, a scholar stepped out of the snow and held the long sword around him with one hand, his wide sleeves were filled with wind and snow, and he walked calmly until the center of the square before he stood still.

A ray of light burst out from Qi Yuxian's eyes

Liunan Liao Fu! It's him! This man is good at wind horn art, and is the powerful arm help of Lu Jujun, and one of the must-kill characters on his side. But before the accident began, he lost his trace with Lu Jujun

Since he appears at this time, it means that Lu's trump card should be revealed

There was wind and snow all over the sky, but no snowflake could approach Liao Fusen and he said loudly: The Empress Dowager has an edict! Liu Jian, the Prince of Jiangdu, planned to rebel, and ordered the edict to kill him!

Those who get the head are feudal Yanghou! Those who get the body will be rewarded with ten thousand golds! Those who get the hand will be rewarded with five thousand golds! Those who get the weight will be rewarded with two thousand golds!

Liao Fu's voice was not high, but it was very far away, and even the Chongde Hall in the distance was faintly echoed.

Cheng Zongyang gasped in the que Tower. This reward was too cruel, and he was completely encouraged to dismember Liu Jian.

The beast barbarians kept walking out of the formation. Their arms were densely wrapped with iron chains as thick as ordinary people's wrists, and huge rocks were dragged behind the chains.

Some of the huge rocks were stone locks, some were stone lions, and some were stone men dragged from somewhere. The small one was three or four hundred kilograms, the largest one was as big as a calf, weighing more than a thousand kilograms.

Qi Yuxian's heart was a little calmer. These huge rocks looked amazing, but they were too heavy. Even the beast warriors could not swing them as weapons. At most, they were just a fool. This was in line with the usual style of the playboys in the Lü family.

Qi Yuxian can not take the eyes of those beast barbarian slaves, but Cheng Zongyang cannot help but be careful that long before the palace was in trouble, he asked the green-faced beast to go to the gathering place of the beast barbarian slaves to find out the news, but he never replied that he narrowed his eyes and tried his best to find the shadow of the old beast, but he could not see it.

Seeing that the beasts and barbarians were about to step across the center line of the square, the heron raised the iron Ruyi and hit the drum.

The drum sounded, shocking people's hearts suddenly jumped

Five drivers urged the horses at the same time. The wheels of Wugang's car wrapped in iron crushed the snow, making a series of dull rumbles. The driver skillfully controlled the horses, and continued to accelerate, and the chariot was getting faster and faster.

The crossbowmen in the car had already loaded the arrows, and at this time they all held up the crossbow machine and aimed at Liao Fu.

Liao Fu drew out his long sword, pointed forward, sealed!

With a sudden shout, the snow on the ground instantly condensed into ice. The horse running suddenly seemed to step on the mirror, with four hooves slipping and neighing to the ground.

Five chariots capsized at the same time, and swirled on the ground with huge inertia and slipped out several feet. The solid body of the chariot was still intact. However, the sergeants on the chariot were thrown out one after another. Heavy shields, arrows, spears, long swords... scattered all over the ground, screams sounded like a piece of screams.

The beast barbarians dragging the huge rocks accelerated. The sharp claws on the front of their toes were like snow leopards, firmly holding on to the ice layer. The huge stone dragged behind them slid rapidly on the ice surface. The front of them was a beast barbarian who was dragging the stone lock had crossed Liao Fu. He roared and waved hard. The stone lock drew an arc against the ice surface and flew forward.

A thrilling sound of iron tools rubbing, the iron chain wrapped in the arm of the beast barbarian instantly shook straight, and nearly five hundred kilograms of stone lock shot out like a cannonball and a slump in front of a slump. The lower half of the car was knocked down by a huge rock, and the broken body slid into the ditch

With just one move, the situation on the field will be completely reversed, whether it is the Wugang car used to attack the tough, or the brave and warlike Yue cavalry, there is no power to fight back on the frozen battlefield, and the heavy rocks of the beast barbarians will become an invincible weapon to break the enemy by trapping the formation.

Qi Yuxian finally understood why they used huge rocks that could not be swung at all, because they didn't need to swing at all. They just needed to sweep across the ground and exert great power on the smooth ice surface as smooth as a mirror.

Heavy snow was still falling, and the soft snowflakes fell on the ice, making it difficult for people to walk, turning the entire square into an ice trap. The cavalry that had not had time to fight and even retreated became a luxury. The horse strategy had reached its fullest, and some soldiers were suppressed by the fallen mounts and shouted loudly. Some of them finally broke free, but they couldn't even stand on the ice. They fell down as soon as they got up and reacted quickly, and they could only stab the ground with their short knife, half-kneeling and half-climbing the ground.

The beast barbarians were running like flying on the ice. The frozen ice layer did not stop them, but instead made them winged. The beast barbarians in the front were not even running, but gliding. With the huge inertia of the stones, they rushed into the chaotic army formation at an unimaginable high speed. Then they waved their arms, and the iron chain and the huge rock swept out a huge fan, sweeping away all the blocking objects.

The neighing of war horses, the screams of soldiers, the roar of beast barbarians, and the muffled sound of huge rocks hitting the body were connected together. In almost a blink of an eye, the beast barbarians completed the clearing of the huge Wugang car or the divine war horse, whether it was brave and brave warriors or the exquisite and expensive magic weapons, they were all swept into the ditch beside the square like garbage.

Such one-sided killing, even Qi Yuxian, who had always thought Sheng Jue was holding, changed his face. The beast barbarians came too fast and almost rushed to the front in a blink of an eye. She relied on her light body to avoid the huge rock waved by the beast barbarian, but the heron did not have such good luck. His car was shattered by the huge rock and he flew out.

It was still Qi Yuxian who risked being killed by a huge rock and made a turn in the air, trying hard to pull the collar of the heron and drag him out of danger.

The riots in the square have been wiped out, with five Wugang vehicles being damaged. More than 200 cavalry of the Yue cavalry after a day of fighting, and many casualties have occurred in each army, none of which are fully organized. As the most powerful cavalry of the Northern Army, the Yue cavalry lost more than 200 cavalry in one battle, which is equivalent to being completely destroyed.

With Liao Fu raised his hand, Age's square turned into a Jedi. All the arrangements and tactics of Heron were gone before they could be used. If the main force of the chaos army was in the square, or the entire Nangong was like the terrain of Age's square, facing an irresistible opponent, the battle ended at the beginning.

Fortunately, after years of renovation, Nangong pavilions are densely packed, and behind the rant army is the Anfu Gate leading to the Yutang Hall. The tall eaves blocked the wind and snow, leaving a place for the rant army to settle down.

Qi Yuxian carried the heron up the steps. Before he could let go, the heron shouted: No arrows must be fired!

The sergeant guarding Anfu Gate had already opened his crossbow, and he stopped immediately after hearing this.

The infantry commander Ge is ahead! Take three steps!

As the Hero said, holding the drum in his left hand, and lifting Tie Ruyi with his right hand. He beat the drum three times. When he couldn't help it, he even snatched the drum.

Dongdongdongdong Three drums sounded, and the infantry army holding long spears walked forward three steps, lined up in the middle of the steps, facing the rushing beast barbarians from a high place

Zhonglei Army, use Dahuang!

The soldiers of Zhonglei put down their bows and arrows, and moved out the heavy crossbow. The crossbow arms were yellow and more than four feet long. Two large and round soldiers stepped onto the crossbow shoulders at the same time. They tried their best to hang the bowstrings and then one kneeled on one knee, held the crossbow body with both hands, and the other installed arrows. They held the crossbow machine with one hand and a row of cold and ridged arrows aimed at the speeding beast barbarians.

Cheng Zongyang, who had been staring at the field, breathed a sigh of relief. The scene just now was so shocking. Who would have thought that the riot army with superior forces would be defeated in a blink of an eye?

And it was completely crushed. If the Lu family's counter-rebels have been so fierce, then they will be even more fucked. Everyone should pack their luggage and run away quickly.

The rioters' response was also considered appropriate. Although they were defeated under the command of the young man, they stabilized their position as soon as possible. Especially the big yellow crossbow they used, as the most sharp weapon of the Han army, the range could cover the entire square of Age and lose the overwhelming geographical advantage. The offensive of those beast barbarians was probably about to end here.

Although these beast barbarians are extremely powerful, they are slaves after all. Cai Jingzhong said: How could they become slaves if they have a little courage? This battle...



Cai Jingzhong said halfway, but saw Cheng Zongyang staring at the square below without blinking, with an incredible expression on his face.

Lu Jing said: What's wrong?

Cheng Zongyang squeezed out a sentence from his teeth after a while. It seemed like I saw an "acquaintance"!

The heron shouted: Shoot!

More than ten big yellow crossbows were shocked at the same time, and the heavy arrows like short spears tore open the flying snow, shooting at the unstoppable enemy troops with a sharp roar.

Heron's idea is the same as that of Cai Jingzhong. No matter how strong and powerful the beasts are, they are just slaves captured by humans. Apart from their natural power, they cannot compare with the elite Han army under their command. Once they lose their geographical advantage, they will definitely not be the opponent of the regular army.

Immediately afterwards, he knew that he was wrong. Lu Jujun had already revealed his trump card, but he was completely unprepared.

At the front, a beast barbarian threw away the iron chain, the huge rock rushed away the snow, and hit the steps, he turned his wrist and took off a half-man-high iron shield from behind. While gliding rapidly, he bent down slightly, and his movements were not large, and the impact on speed was minimal, but he blocked the vital points in all parts of his body behind the heavy shield to the greatest extent.

The sharp heavy arrow hit the shield, making a sound of gold and iron attack. The pure iron arrow shot into the shield. The beast barbarian rushed suddenly. He was shot back by the huge force of the arrow and slid back half a step. But he was ready, and then his claws tightened and made several deep marks on the ice. Before the force was removed, he howled and jumped up.

He jumped almost three feet away and jumped directly to the steps of Anfu Gate. The iron shield, the size of a millstone, smashed a gap between the long spears, and then swung a bronze axe from behind the shield and slashed across the crowd.

Blood splashed out like a waterfall, melting the snow into blood and then condensed into ice

Get out of here! Qi Yuxian shouted, and there was a crescent-like scimitar in her hand. She was about to step forward, but the heron grabbed her sleeve

Under the fire, the heron's face turned slightly blue, he was fooled! Retreat!

Cheng Zongyang frowned vigorously. He was really an acquaintance, and he was one of the first people he met when he traveled to this world...

But what is his name?

Cheng Zongyang patted his head hard. Too many things have happened in the past two years. He actually forgot what he called this guy. What's more important is that he thought he had died long ago in that shocking explosion. Like those Roman legions, he was pulled by Shi Shuai to be buried with Zuo Wujun, but he never thought that he would meet here and betray him.

Qi Yuxian finally realized that they were fooled by the beast barbarians, but the most brave warrior, the big yellow crossbow of the Zhonglei Army, shot at least seven beast barbarians with a rain of arrows, but none of them retreated. They didn't even pause at all, and rushed up ignoring life and death.

The infantry army on the steps had been disrupted and was defeated by the beast barbarian warriors. The Zhonglei army behind them had not had time to open the crossbow for the second time, and the beast barbarian warriors were killed in front of them.

In a hurry, they could only draw out their short swords and fight against the enemy.

Blood flowed down the steps like a stream. The remaining Han soldiers killed several beast warriors, but were also slaughtered.

When the last Zhonglei soldier fell in a pool of blood, the first beast warrior who broke the formation raised his bronze battle axe, his bright fangs shone red in the firelight, and he raised his head and let out a loud roar.

Gugel!

Those beasts roared like crazy

Gugel! Cheng Zongyang slapped his head and shouted: It's him! I'm doing it! Why is he still alive! I'm doing it! How come these beast barbarians are here!

I fuck! They actually colluded with the Lu family! Damn! Lu Jujun! Fuck your mother Ah! He actually brought the beast barbarian in!

Lu Jingdao: Which one is the Zuowu Army pursuing?

That’s right! It’s those guys! Cheng Zongyang’s expression was ferocious. The Shishuai was indeed the bastard Lu Jujun who killed him!

The Beast Barbarian Tribe, far away in the prairie, actually appeared in the heart of the empire and charged for the Lu family. It is unknown whether the transaction between the Lu family and the Beast Barbarian Tribe is unknown.

Lu Jing pulled out a grim smile and gritted his teeth and said: In the battle on the prairie, many brothers died in our Xingyue Lake camp this time, it's time for the fifth master to practice.

Cai Jingzhong said: Although those beast barbarians are fierce, they are only more than a hundred Liu Jian's retainers and 3,000 slaves. The outcome is unknown.

The Lu family side received strong support from the beast barbarians and was in full swing. It was obviously not wise to take the initiative to provoke. However, the development of the situation was not based on personal will. Even a great god like Cai would not do it.

A sound of horse hooves came from outside the White Tiger Gate, and thousands of soldiers rushed into Age Square like a tide. A young man in white in the middle was Lu Jujun, who wore a snow-covering hood on his head, and the four hooves of the mount under him were equipped with anti-slip iron teeth. The weapons used by the soldiers were also wrapped with thin wire ropes to prevent the iron from sticking to his hands in the cold.

The soldiers were wearing black armor with black armor in the unified Han army, but there was a clear difference from the Northern Army and the Guard Army. In particular, their armor and combat boots were covered with dust, and they looked dusty, and seemed to have walked a long way.

Cheng Zongyang said in a lost voice: Where did the army come from?

The battle between the Lu family and Liu Jian almost involved all the troops in Luodu. The only ones that have not been dispatched are the Yulin Tianjun and the Huqi Lu family from Chiyang. If they are dispatched from surrounding prefectures and counties, they will not only delay the time, but also without the tiger talisman in hand, it will not be possible to be transferred. The army in front of them is not as well equipped as the garrison in the capital, and there is a lot of wind and frost on their faces, and it is more like a border army from a bitter and cold place.

Cai Jingzhong's face turned gloomy. If I read it correctly, it would be Zuowu's Second Army.

Zuowu Second Army? Cheng Zongyang shouted: Isn’t it disbanded?

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Zongyang understood that the Lü family had planned that the expenses of the Zuowu Army had always been under the responsibility of the Shaofu. Before the emperor ruled, the Shaofu was always controlled by the Empress Dowager. In other words, the Zuowu Army was closer to the private army of the Lu family, but the Zuowu First Army was under Wang Zhe's command, and the Lu family could not be commanded at all. Then the Zuowu Second Army used to monitor the Zuowu First Army was the true confidant of the Lu family.

Lu Jujun had already been ready to kill the lord. On the one hand, he was not very relieved about the garrison in the capital he controlled. On the other hand, after Wang Zhe was wiped out, the second army of Zuowu was no longer necessary to stay outside the Great Wall, which was costing money. So he transferred the second army of Zuowu back to the capital early.

The Second Army of Zuowu was thousands of miles away and had to pass through countless prefectures and counties along the way. It was impossible to move normally without disturbing the emperor. Therefore, he ordered the disbandment of the Second Army of Zuowu and transform the army into leaving people and returning home. Even the beasts and barbarians were mixed in the team to cover up their journey.

It should be said that Lu Jujun was very successful. More than 2,000 soldiers from Zuowu Army went to Beijing thousands of miles away. There was no trouble in the court. When Liu Ao was alive, he didn't know that there was a nominal army that no longer existed, which was close to Luodu.

Suddenly, two thousand left-wing military troops and more than a hundred brave beast warriors were added, which completely tilted the balance of victory and defeat. Although Liu Jian had five Northern Army troops, after a day of bloody battle, he had already suffered many casualties. Even if he had a backup plan with a heron, he could not escape and destroy it in the face of crushing power.

Cheng Zongyang sighed in his heart, Lu Jujun is too cautious, isn't he just killing the emperor? He actually moved Zuo Wujun back, and this grandson would not be tired! If he had known this, he would have joined forces with Jian Yuji, and wiped out Jiang Chong and Lu Fengxian's wave of troops. The situation is completely unbalanced. Since Lu Jujun appeared in the White Tiger Sect, he was afraid that the four gates of Canglong, Zhuque, and Xuanwu have been surrounded. Liu Jian and his subordinates who have made contributions to the dragon are all in the palace. Now they will be beaten by the Lu family.

At this moment, Lu Jujun suddenly raised his head and looked at Quelou through Feixue. Cheng Zongyang happened to see the cold murderous intent in his eyes.
