Chapter 103 Battle of the Gorge (Subscription Request)
Inside Humen Gorge.
In the narrow gorge.
The soldiers of the Tianxing Army were blocked by a group of soldiers from the opposite side.
In this narrow space, the soldiers of the Tianxing Army confronted the officers and soldiers, and several soldiers of the Tianxing Army who were at the forefront had already fallen.
Blood and flesh splattered all over the mountains on both sides, making them bright red everywhere.
The soldier at the front of the Tianxing Army looked at the mountain-like figure blocking their way with shock on his face.
These soldiers who were charging forward were hit by the enemy's maces and could not even scream. They were smashed to pieces in an instant.
For a moment, the soldiers in the front clenched their spears and swords tightly to protect the figure in white shirt behind them.
Chu Huo stood at the forefront of the confrontation between the two armies. He lifted up the bloody mace from the body of a soldier, and looked at the figure in white shirt, smiling:
"Li Qi? You're a big fish. After I catch you and send you to the arena in my camp, maybe it will attract more people to place bets."
Li Qi's status is much more famous than those division commanders.
This person also stayed in the imperial court for a short period of time in the past, and many dignitaries knew him.
Of course, the more important thing is that this person is the only student of the pseudo-king of Tianxing Army who once held the first-rank official position.
With such a status, it is possible that he would be able to attract wealthy people from outside Yunzhou to come to his arena to place bets. His arena business would become more famous and bring in more money.
Thinking of this, he stared at the Tianxing Army Counselor who was like meat on a sticky board with burning eyes.
Li Qi was furious when he heard the words from the arena. He pointed at the mountain-like figure and cursed:
"Chu Huo!! When two armies fought, the loser only got a scar as big as a bowl. A villain like you actually insulted the soldiers of my Tianxing Army. When I catch you, I will kill you with three swords and nine holes to avenge my blood revenge!!".
In Chu Huo's general camp, an arena was set up, and the captives of the Tianxing Army were used for gambling and entertainment. Who in Yunzhou didn't know about this?
All the officers and soldiers in the Tianxing Army hated this man to the core.
Chu Huo shook off the blood and flesh on the mace and laughed:
"Insult them? No? They are my treasures who help me make money!
If they cooperate, I will provide them with good food and drink so that they can live a few more days.
Many of them are just dying to have it."
After saying this, a mountain-like figure stepped out and said:
"You said you wanted to capture me? My weapon is right here. Let's see how you can capture me."
At this time, the soldiers who were protecting Li Qi tightened their spears with trembling hands.
Even though the mountain-like figure was just approaching and pressing them so hard that they couldn't breathe, they didn't move away at all.
The brigade commander ordered them to protect Li Qi.
Since they have received the military order, they will do it even if it means death!
Just as they were about to go forward and fight with Chu Huo.
After the voice came a shout:
"Step aside.".
Hearing this, the soldiers were overjoyed, but they did not move. They pointed their spears at the mountain-like figure and said:
"General! Why bother you to take action? A few of us can deal with this guy too!!"
The brigade commander is brave and invincible, but we, as pawns, are supposed to serve him. How can we let the brigade commander take action when we encounter a powerful enemy?
Now is the perfect opportunity to perform well in front of the brigade commander.
How could they give up so easily?
Life in troubled times is worthless.
If these refugees had not followed the brigade commander, they would have starved to death in Lianhua County. Even if they die, they must let the brigade commander see their unyielding performance!
Thinking of this, their hands stopped shaking, and they were ready to charge forward with their guns raised.
But the voice behind was quite unhappy and shouted:
"I told you to get out of the way and don't block the road!"
These people lined up in a row, just blocking the road ahead.
The guy on the opposite side was obviously the leader. As a brigade commander, he was blocked behind and couldn't say a word.
This made him very unhappy.
When a few soldiers heard that the brigade commander behind them seemed angry, they quickly withdrew their weapons, stepped aside and made way.
The road was long and some people blocking the way ahead also reacted.
They and others had stolen the limelight from the brigade commander, so they quickly stepped aside.
Lu Yuan walked out from the cleared path, looked at the broken bodies of the soldiers on the ground, and then looked at the mountain-like figure holding the bloody mace.
His face had turned extremely cold.
It was this guy who was blocking the road. When he fell behind the team, the other side killed so many of his men.
You know, we are about to reach the Tianxing Army territory.
The more soldiers he brings with him, the more they can support him and save his face.
What's more, every soldier here has fought all the way from Youzhou and follows him wholeheartedly.
It was the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the Tianxing Army headquarters, where he had no idea of the truth.
How could he allow his own soldiers to be beaten and killed like this!
He raised the spear in his hand and thrust it forward fiercely, stabbing at the chest of Chu Huo, who had been approaching and was already within his attack range.
Just a moment.
The black gun light hit the pitch black.
"Dang~!" A sharp sound.
The heavy black iron spear stabbed into the equally black mace.
The mace did not move.
But the mountain-like figure took half a step back with one leg!
After Chu Huo stepped back half a step, he wanted to steady his body, but the huge force had not yet been completely removed.
The huge body swayed slightly, and it actually took half a step back before finally stabilizing itself.
At this moment, he stared with his huge eyes wide open, looking at the spear in the opponent's hand and the small dent on his fine iron mace in disbelief! !
Such force!!
how is this possible! !
How could he possibly have such a powerful force with a body less than nine feet tall and arms not even half as thick as mine?!
He actually had to take two steps back to block the force of a random shot from the opponent!
Who is this person! ?
Move your gaze to the other person's face.
Chu Huo searched for the figures of brigade commanders, division commanders, and even army commanders of the Tianxing Army in his head, but he did not find any that matched the criteria.
A person with such great strength cannot be an unknown person, but he has no impression of him at all!
The force of this one blow alone made him no longer dare to underestimate the man in front of him. He grabbed the mace, squatted slightly, and assumed a fighting stance.
As for the Tianxing Army, seeing that their brave and invincible commander had gained the upper hand with just one blow, they all raised their weapons fanatically and cheered loudly from behind.
The Brigade Commander, it is indeed the Brigade Commander!!
From Youzhou to Yunzhou, and then to Muzhou, no general of the imperial court could stop the brigade commander at all.
In their eyes, the commander-in-chief was like a god descending from heaven.
How lucky they are to be able to follow such a powerful god-like being!!
Weapons were raised higher and the cheers became louder, echoing in the narrow Humen Gorge.
