Chapter 199 Development Heroes (6k)
The river valley is foggy both morning and evening in winter.
When the sky dimmed, white mist quietly descended.
Yang Changyuan planned to retreat after picking up the items, but he didn't know that danger was slowly approaching.
The dead bodies of civilians on the ice all dropped survival skill experiences such as farmers and chefs. In theory, there is nothing good about them, and you can actually ignore them. But this guy has obsessive-compulsive disorder when playing games, and he can't help picking them up when he sees the dropped flashes.
Small amounts add up to a lot, and you can become rich.
What if there is a rare and excellent item?
Qiu Qiongying was no longer surprised by her husband's hobby of "saving the dying and healing the wounded" after being educated by Hu Sanniang. At this moment, she stood in the middle of the road with a spear in her hand, keeping watch for Yang Chang.
A gust of north wind blew by, and a hint of murderous aura was smelled.
At this time, is there anyone seeking death?
Qiu Qiongying frowned and looked up at the sky, only to see that it was completely covered with mist. Then she stared towards the north with her bright eyes.
In the fog, Wanyan Huo Nu urged the army to move forward.
Pu Jie, the centurion beside him, saw that they were already three miles away from the valley entrance, and whispered, "Young General, I have just been wondering, those two men who were so brave that they could fight ten people at once, could they be Yang Chang and Lu Zhishen? Both of them have the strength of a thousand pounds in their hands."
"Are you scared? Then go back first."
"No, I think you don't need to take the risk yourself."
"I have fought hundreds of battles, both large and small, under the previous emperor. I have more than a hundred scars on my body. Why can't I take a risk?"
After Wanyan Huonu said this, Pujie was blocked from replying.
The reason why he has achieved what he has today and is admired by Aguda is because of this fearless spirit.
But not wanting to live does not mean being stupid. Yang Chang was able to use a lion to crush Wanyan Wulu to death. His personal bravery is unquestionable, and no living woman would dare to stroke his tiger's beard.
The reason why he dared to send troops into the valley to seek battle at this time was that he was sure that Yang Chang, as the governor of Qinzhou, would not rashly bring a guard with him to kill the enemy.
It was this wrong perception that drove Wanyan Huo Nu into the valley.
Da da da.
Qiu Qiongying's hearing was not inferior to Yang Chang's. When she heard the dense horse hooves getting closer, she waved her hands and shouted, "Sir, hurry up, it seems that there are enemies approaching!"
"Hmm? I'll be right there."
Yang Chang was stunned when he heard this, thinking: Are the Jin people also playing the game of Calabash Brothers to save their grandfather?
He quickly picked up the last few bodies, and then he could see the figures of cavalry in the fog.
There are quite a few people?
The light in the valley is dim, can you handle it?
Yang Chang ran to the shore anxiously, but due to nervousness, he suddenly exerted too much force and kicked away the frozen ice under his feet.
What the hell!
At the critical moment, Yang Chang gathered his mind and used the [Centipede Step] to quickly move towards the shore, while Wanyan Huonu had already arrived with his personal soldiers.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Wanyan Huonu frowned and thought.
One blocked the road and the other went into the river.
A thief who makes money from the dead?
"You golden dog, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you break in, who dares to fight you for three hundred rounds?"
"Haha, it's actually a baby bird. Pujie, you guessed wrong."
"General, look behind!"
There was no need to remind Pu Jie, Wanyan Huonu also saw Yang Chang running.
He pointed his knife forward and shouted arrogantly: "I will satisfy this woman, you guys go around and kill that man!"
"Yes."
"Kill!"
"You can't do that. That's unethical!"
"hey-hey."
Wanyan Huonu's mouth twitched, and she raised her knife to attack Qiu Qiongying, and teased proudly: "Who made us outnumbered? With more people, we can do whatever we want. Look at the knife!"
"court death!"
Qiu Qiongying swung the halberd upwards, causing Wanyan Huonu's body to tilt.
This girl is very beautiful, and we are planning to capture her and take her back to Liaodong to make her a slave. How can we be at ease with such a powerful woman?
After just one move, Wanyan Huonu was shocked and marveled at the woman's great strength. She put away her contempt and focused on dealing with her.
Yang Chang's weapons and horse were under the rock, and he only had a sword at his side.
Qiu Qiongying was worried about the man's safety, so she swung her Fang Tian Hua Ji and attacked fiercely. Huo Nu had to respond passively, secretly groaning in her heart.
After I kill that man, if they attack again, what martial ethics can I still talk about?
With such brave strength, how can she be a delicate woman?
Wanyan Huonu glanced at it distractedly, and the scene instantly made him even more uneasy. He thought the woman who was fighting with him was very strong, but it turned out that the man was the one with supernatural power.
No, this person doesn't look like a monk. Could it be Yang Chang?
Just a moment ago, Yang Chang finally ran onto the official road, but the Jin cavalry also arrived, and he was still two meters away from his horses and weapons.
He was not afraid at all even when he was surrounded in infantry combat.
The key is that Qiu Qiongying is in front, and this girl does not have the [Frenzy] skill, so Yang Chang must quickly open up the situation.
Brush it.
A large black club fell from overhead, and the leading cavalryman used an iron club.
There was a clang sound.
If Yang Chang had not already reached the Qi Refining Stage and his body's brute strength had not been refined, his Panlong Tunri Sword would most likely have been broken by the iron rod.
Because of his confidence in his control over his strength, he dared to use his sword to block the heavy weapon, and while holding the sword across his head to block it, he twisted his body and took a step forward.
Make a fist and swing it out.
There was a loud bang, as loud as thunder.
Yang Changquan was like a cannonball, hitting the upper side of the horse's leg.
It was not until the warhorse flew sideways to the left and knocked down the following Jin soldier that it began to neigh in pain.
This punch not only shocked Wanyan Huo Nu.
The Jin soldiers who surrounded them from behind were also shocked.
At this time, the valley was shrouded in dusk, and Yang Chang's facial features were no longer clear, so the Jin soldiers immediately stopped in their tracks.
One punch can knock a man and a horse flying. Is this a human or a ghost?
Yang Chang took advantage of the moment when the Jin soldiers were distracted and took the phoenix-wing gold-plated halberd in a few steps.
He was about to mount his horse while holding the halberd handle when he heard Wanyan Huo Nuzhai shouting in front of him: "What are you waiting for!"
"Ah? Kill him!"
"Yes, yes, let's do it together!"
"I'll take the next step."
The Jin soldiers rushed forward like a pack of howling wolves. Yang Chang held up the phoenix-wing gold-plated halberd and swept it with his backhand.
The few Jin soldiers at the front seemed to be made of tofu. When they were touched by the crescent-shaped cold light, they were broken into two in an instant.
Half of his body was still on the horse, and blood kept gushing out from the severed part.
That weird scene was terrifying.
The Jin soldiers paused for a moment, and Yang Chang quickly jumped onto his horse.
With dual blessings of weapons and mounts, [Power of a Tiger], [Flying General], and [Frenzy] are triggered at the same time, turning subsequent battles into a crushing victory.
Wanyan Huonu was intimidated by Yang Chang, and was nearly stabbed by Qiu Qiongying because of her distraction, but she couldn't help but sneak a glance at him out of the corner of her eye. As a result, the warriors under his command fell one after another, and some of them were already running back.
"Quick, all of you, push forward and kill those who retreat!"
Due to the terrain restrictions in the valley, the 300 Jurchen cavalry could not deploy at the same time. Pu Jie saw that the situation was not right in the rear, so he forced the guards around him to stop Yang Chang.
Pu Jie rode his horse with his spear in hand, came to Wanyan Huonu's side, and stabbed Qiu Qiongying in the chest.
Even though it was already dark, Qiu Qiongying still had a strong sense of martial arts. When she felt a cold light stabbing from the left, she twisted her waist and attacked the living woman's heart.
When Wanyan Huonu dodged, the Fang Tian Huaji suddenly turned back and cleverly used the branch to bite the spear tip.
Swing the halberd and stir.
Pu Jie suddenly felt a burning sensation in his palms. His body was out of control and he was pulled to block the living woman.
"Innocent!"
"careful!"
Two against one will only cause more trouble.
Pu Jie made a prompt decision, loosened the gun handle and pulled the living woman, reminding her in Jurchen: "This woman is not simple, and that man is even more invincible. We must withdraw to Pantuo as soon as possible."
"Yes, this time, I will cover you!"
Wanyan Huo Nuye responded in Jurchen language and raised her sword to attack Qiu Qiongying again. After two moves, she struggled to push away the painted halberd, turned her horse around and galloped north.
Qiu Qiongying was worried about Yang Chang's comfort and had no intention of chasing after the living woman, but at this moment she heard a man's shouting.
"Leave the leader behind!"
"what?"
Qiu Qiongying suddenly turned around to look and found that Yang Chang had killed all the Jin soldiers around him and was riding his horse towards her.
At this time, Wanyan Huonu had already ridden her horse to a distance of about two meters.
"Hey, wanna run?"
Qiu Qiongying quickly took out three pebbles and threw them at the target with all her strength.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The visibility was unclear in the evening and two of the three missiles were hit.
Wanyan Huonu had soft armor on his body, so he was able to endure the pain after being hit by one bullet, but the other bullet accidentally hit the warhorse's butt, causing the beast to jump around like crazy in pain.
The crazy horse could not be controlled and the girl was soon thrown off its back.
When he struggled to get up, the Fang Tian Hua Ji was already against his throat.
Yang Chang had also arrived by this time, so Qiu Qiongying turned around and asked, "There are dozens of riders left, and it's getting late now, so you won't chase them anymore, right?"
"Let's not chase him. This guy is dressed differently from other small fish. He must be a big fish. It might be useful to keep him."
"Hey." Qiu Qiongying pushed her halberd forward and asked sternly, "Who are you?"
"We Jurchens are spineless. Just kill me!"
The living woman who was praised by Aguda pretended to be proud even when she was captured. After he finished speaking, she raised her head, closed her eyes and waited for death to come.
"you"
"Haha, I know it even without him telling me."
"How could you know?"
Wanyan Huonu opened her eyes and looked at the ghostly man in the darkness.
When she got closer, she found that he was a beardless young man, several years younger than her, and a good match for the woman.
Want to cheat me?
No, he is laughing!
He has a deep understanding of the creation of yin and yang, and is familiar with the mechanisms of ghosts and gods.
Name: Wanyan Huo Nu
Cultivation: Mortal
Possessing attributes: Fast healing body (injury recovery speed is accelerated, drug absorption capacity is doubled.)
Skills: Good Hunter, Horseman, Spear and Stick, Sword
Possess special skills: None
After using the [Eye of Insight] to observe, Yang Chang found that this Wanyan Huonu was quite interesting. Her [Quick Healing Body] was very suitable for being a meat shield in the game, provided that she was not killed instantly. It was far better than his previous [Drug Inhibiting Body].
However, compared with the current [Iron Wall], [Quick Healing Body] is a bit not good enough, otherwise it would be very costly to pick up on the spot.
"Wanyan live girl?"
"Huh? I'm not!"
"Hahaha, the Jurchens also lie?" "I"
Yang Chang suddenly raised his head and laughed, then chopped the girl unconscious with a knife.
Qiu Qiongying got off the horse, walked forward and asked curiously, "What are you doing, sir?"
"We don't have any ropes. How can we control them without knocking them out?"
Yang Chang spread his hands and added, "Madam, keep an eye on him first. I will look for the Jin soldiers. If we can't find them, we must be alert. These Jurchens have thick skin and flesh. They may wake up soon."
"No way? Sir, you are very strong."
Qiu Qiongying was stunned for a moment, and then reminded: "It's getting dark, we might as well just leave. If more Jin soldiers enter the valley, it will be difficult to deal with them."
"It doesn't matter. Who is your man? Kill as many as come."
Yang Chang waved his hand, turned around and went to pick up the corpse at the bright spot, thinking that his buddy had night vision and night was actually his home ground.
[Gain hunter experience. Use it to improve hunter skill proficiency. Please choose to use or discard.]
[Gain gun and stick experience. Use it to improve your gun and stick skill proficiency. Please choose to use or discard.]
【Gain 1 murderous point.】
[Gain sword experience. Use it to improve your sword and stick skill proficiency. Please choose to use or discard.]
【Gain 2 murderous point.】
These poor bastards!
After picking up hundreds of corpses, Yang Chang's highest murderous aura value was only 10 points, which was very different from his expectations. He thought that the murderous aura value was increasing so slowly, and his realm must be increasing slowly.
The hundreds of soldiers killed today all looked like Hu people.
Perhaps it was the surrendered Liao soldiers? Or maybe only those with the surname Wanyan could drop high murderous aura values?
Yang Changti was holding a rope and thinking about this problem as he walked.
In no time, Wanyan Huonu was tied up. Yang Changru lifted him up behind the horse's neck like a rabbit, then lit a torch and waved to Qiu Qiongying.
"Let's go. The Jurchens are afraid of ambushes and would never dare to pursue us deep into the valley at night. We have to hurry back to Qinzhou. Master Lu and Shi Jin must be getting anxious."
"Oh, but not too fast, or you'll fall into the river."
"Haha, absolutely impossible."
Yang Chang and Qiu Qiongying walked side by side. Considering the unclear vision between people and horses, he deliberately looked down and slowed down his pace.
After they rode for about ten miles, Yang Chang suddenly remembered that Wanyan Huo's daughter had a simple nature and should not be a match for his woman. Why were they evenly matched just now?
Because there is pressure because of too many people?
Yang Chang turned his head and asked Qiu Qiongying with doubt: "Madam, is this golden general very powerful? Why didn't you take him down just now?"
"I don't know. I have been suppressing him and beating him all the time."
Qiu Qiongying didn't know why Yang Chang asked this. In fact, her attack had been very fierce, but it was because of her impatience and concern that she failed to defeat Wanyan Huonu.
Of course, this was due to lack of experience and the influence of the environment.
Yang Chang had checked it a few months ago and now wanted to confirm whether he remembered it correctly.
Maybe the strength is not yet enough to crush the opponent?
He analyzed it in his mind while silently chanting a spell and checking the panel.
After the spell is finished, the sea of consciousness appears.
Name: Qiu Qiongying
Cultivation: Mortal
Possessing attributes: Shadow, Born to be a warrior
Skills: Horsemanship, Spear and Stick, Sword, and Fists
Possessing special skill: Meteor Chasing the Moon (a special skill of hidden weapon, triggered by continuous throwing, increasing hit rate, three consecutive hits are a sure hit)
Huh?
There is actually an extra skill?
The last time Yang Chang spied on her, Qiu Qiongying relied on her advantage of learning martial arts as a "natural warrior" and only practiced sword, fist and kick to perfection. How could she be able to comprehend unique skills now?
Tsk tsk, your attributes are the same as your body, it turns out you are a development hero.
According to the interpretation of [Meteor Chasing the Moon], it seems that he is born to use hidden weapons.
"Sir, did I hold you back just now?"
"How could it be? If it weren't for my lady delaying, I might be in danger."
"My lord is omnipotent. These scumbags are no match for me."
As soon as Qiu Qiongying finished complimenting him, Yang Chang immediately smiled and comforted her, reminding her: "There were so many enemies around at that time, it was normal that you didn't perform at your best. By the way, I see that you are very good at throwing stones. If you fight in the battlefield again in the future, you can design battles around flying stones, such as pretending to be defeated and throwing stones."
"Just throwing flying stones? I train my strength every day to throw cannonballs."
"Haha, this isn't a conflict. Qinzhou doesn't have the ability to make cannonballs right now. Let's practice with flying stones first, and then we can change to another one later."
"Hidden weapons. Despicable."
When the couple was discussing fighting, a discordant voice emerged and was knocked unconscious by Yang Changshou's knife again.
"Sir, he."
"I've said it before, the Jurchens are tough and thick-skinned, and now they've been knocked unconscious again."
Although Yang Chang said this, he knew in his heart the reason why this person woke up. [Quick Healing Body] is really a good attribute, but it conflicts with [Iron Wall] and cannot be extracted for others to use.
Qiu Qiongying didn't know the inside story, but asked curiously: "Why did you take the trouble to bring him back? He is quite good at martial arts, and we can't send him to Mianshang to mine. Instead of wasting food in Qinzhou, it's better to kill him directly."
"hehe."
Yang Chang responded in a relaxed tone, "My lady, you are just telling the truth. Go back and give us some leftovers. We will feed them to the dogs. Saving his life should be useful."
"What's the use?"
"Nianhan has recruited tens of thousands of Yisheng troops. Together with the Jin soldiers they gathered in Yunzhong, the total force must be more than 100,000. After taking Taiyuan, they will definitely attack Qinzhou. Qinzhou only has 20,000 cavalry, infantry and navy in total, and strategic materials such as bows and arrows are also in short supply. So I want to keep an extra bargaining chip in my hand. Even if the negotiations are delayed, it will be a rare opportunity to breathe."
"So that's how it is. Your Excellency is really far-sighted."
Qiu Qiongying responded with an admiring tone. She was the youngest of the three women and the one who liked to ask questions the most, and Yang Chang was also happy to be her "teacher".
The couple hurried on in the valley. The Jin soldiers who had saved their lives in their hands were as panicked as headless flies when they arrived at Pantuo Town.
The main general was captured, and he was the biological son of the vanguard general Lou Shi. How to explain it?
Several Meng'ans gathered together and finally decided to let Mouke Pujie rush to Yangqu camp to report overnight.
Pu Jie didn't even have dinner. He changed horses and headed north with his entourage at night, arriving in Yangqu at noon the next day.
Lou Shi's troops lacked siege equipment, and did not continue the attack after besieging Yangqu. On the one hand, he deployed troops to encircle the point and attack the reinforcements, and on the other hand, he waited for subsequent reinforcements.
On the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, Marshal Youdu Yelu Yudu arrived with more than 30,000 Yisheng troops.
Marshal Nianhan's intention was to let the Yisheng Army serve as cannon fodder to consume the energy of the Taiyuan defenders. He was still making dispatches in the rear at this time.
Lou Shi spent the whole morning receiving and deploying people. At noon, he had lunch with Yelu Yudu, Yin Shuke, Salumu and others, and discussed how to quickly break into the city.
When Pu Jie arrived with an empty stomach, the generals in the big tent had just finished eating.
Hearing that his son's generals had arrived, Lou Shi smiled and joked to everyone: "This kid, even though he's already a general, is still used to asking for instructions and reporting every day and calling people in."
"Yes."
Not long after the guards responded and went out, Mouke Pujie hurried into the tent.
When he saw Lou Shi, Pu Na bowed and cried, "It's terrible. The young general has been captured by the enemy."
"Hmm? Don't panic, just explain clearly."
When the generals saw that Lou Shi was emotionally stable and responded calmly, they all expressed admiration and felt that this was the style of a great general.
"Yesterday evening, in the southern canyon of Pantuo Town."
"You mean there were only one man and one woman on the other side? Not only did they kill one or two hundred Jurchen warriors, but they also captured the woman alive?"
"It's absolutely true. When Pantuo Town counted the troops yesterday, there were more than 500 people missing. I guess it's all."
"shut up!"
Yin Shuke slammed the table and stood up, angrily scolding Pu Jie: "Stop talking nonsense and misleading the army. Since we sent out the troops last month, where have we seen such a fierce general?"
"You can't say that. Don't forget Jammu and Diebojire."
"You mean Yang Chang?" Yin Shuke waved his hands and explained, "As the governor of Qinzhou, he is already considered a small lord of a town. Would he take a woman and run to the valley to take risks?"
Lou Shi thought it made sense. He also didn't believe that the commander-in-chief would be a scout, so he immediately asked about the two men's appearance in detail.
As soon as Pu Jie finished describing his appearance, Gao Qingyi, who came with Yelu Yudu, immediately opened his eyes wide and swallowed his saliva, thinking, isn't this Yang Chang? But he did not jump to any conclusion.
"General Lou Shi, I guarantee with my life that this man is Yang Chang, the Bright Heavenly Lord, and that woman is probably Qiu Qiongying, the adopted daughter of my brother's father-in-law."
Tian Bao stood up from the corner and explained his point of view in a torrent of words, which made everyone frown.
Yes, Nianhan did not kill Tian Bao, but instead brought him under his command and made him serve under him.
Yang Chang first killed Jamu and then Wulu, which quickly attracted the attention of Nianhan. Tian Bao had once followed Tian Hu to invade the Three Jins, so with his guidance, the effort would be much more efficient.
After Tian Bao finished speaking and sat down, Gao Qingyi stood up and added: "I also think that it was Yang Chang. It is understandable that the living female general was defeated, but it may not be easy to rescue her."
"What's so hard about it?"
Salum stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and shook it in the air, and said arrogantly: "I think it's easy."
"What do you think?" Lou Shi looked at him expectantly.
"No other reason than to persuade them with a eloquent tongue."
“I feel like this person is difficult to deal with.”
Gao Qingyi kindly reminded her, but Salumu responded confidently.
"Money, sex, beauty, power, there is always one thing that tempts him. Even Tong Guan, the Prince of Guangyang, could be intimidated by him, so what can a mere inspector do to him?"
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, Wang Jieru is not in the front army at this time. If you cooperate with me this time, we will definitely be able to bring the girl back alive."
"I am coming too?"
Gao Qingyi really didn't want to go. The sight of the stone lion crushing him was really shocking, and he didn't want to face Yang Chang.
Seeing that Salumu was so sure, Lou Shi immediately nodded in affirmation and said, "It would be a good idea to send someone to ask, and by the way, understand the real situation of Qinzhou. Once Taiyuan is captured, it will be theirs. Remember, agree to whatever Yang Chang wants first, just in case he doesn't want anything."
"Don't worry, General. I know what to do."
In Salum's eyes, as long as one is a human being, he or she has something to ask for, and if you have something to ask for, you can talk about it.
It's like in the eyes of a prostitute, there is no woman who can be refused for sale, and the reason for not selling her may be that the price has not been agreed upon.
According to Nianhan's plan, they had to capture Taiyuan and then attack Qinzhou.
It is not possible to declare war on Qinzhou at this time, so Lou Shi can only use diplomatic means first.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Salumu and Gao Qingyi took a cart of gifts and set out from Yangqu to Qinzhou.
These gifts were not given to Yang Chang, nor were they used to redeem people, but were used to bribe the "little devils" on the way. Salum, who had served as an envoy for a long time, was very familiar with these tricks.
Two days later, the delegation arrived at the valley front outpost and was interrogated by the garrison commander Shi Jin.
Salumu only gave a look, and Gao Qingyi asked someone to bring a dozen copper coins, and said with a smile: "General, you are still on duty here in the frost and snow. This little gift is not a respect. Please have tea with your brothers. We are envoys from the Kingdom of Jin. We are here to see Yang Guancha. Please give us a favor."
"Wow, so much money, how can I spend it all?"
Shi Jin picked up a string of copper coins and immediately started joking with the people around him.
Gao Qingyi was supposed to be quite generous, but Shi Jin came from a wealthy family and did not care about this little bit of money.
When Salum heard the wrong tone, he immediately took out two gold cakes from his arms and asked his follower to pass them over with a smile.
"General, don't get me wrong. Those are teas for your brothers. This is your share."
"Not bad, you can get the job done."
"Haha, then we."
The King of Hell was pleased to see that the little devil was difficult to deal with. Salumu thought she had passed the test, but then Shi Jin waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Tie them all up!"
