14 Take the long view

However, the reason why Xie Yixiang was able to fight against the Dongying masters of "Zhongjo One Sword Stream" and "Kendo Small Soldier" with one enemy all relied on the narrow terrain on the mountain road. At this time, as she retreated in defeat, the Japanese in the rear suddenly swarmed and rushed up.

As for the black-clothed warrior, he unfolded his "swift as the wind" kendo trick, followed closely behind Xie Yixiang, and the sword in his hand could not leave Xie Yixiang's heart, and he actually said that he would kill this Central Plains woman on the spot.

Xie Yixiang secretly complained, she really didn't know that there were still top masters such as black-clothed warriors in these Dongying Wokou, it can be seen that she still underestimated these foreign bandits, so she had to go all out to develop the "Luoxia Lonely Bird" technique, and fled to the mountain without looking back. She estimated in her heart that after her own delay, it would take half an hour at best, and she hoped that the rebels on both sides of the court and King Heng would have fled far away by taking advantage of this time, and it would not be in vain that she would be fortunate and end up in danger.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yixiang returned all the way back to the mountain where he had just watched the battle, but more than a dozen sergeants had already come to respond, and when he looked closely, it was a good hand in the green forest led by the "Dragon and Tiger Collapse Mountain Strength" He Qimeng, and it was obvious that he couldn't rest assured after all, so he arranged for them to respond here. Seeing her coming all the way, he didn't say much at the moment, and immediately let the dozen or so green forest experts dressed as sergeants behind him kill together, and at the same time attack the black-clothed warrior behind Xie Yixiang.

You must know that Xie Yixiang's light skills are not weak, so he rushed back to the mountain all the way, and had already thrown off the Japanese team's brigade more than half a mile away, and only this black-clothed warrior of the "Kendo Little Art of War" chased after him alone. At this time, with more than a dozen green forest masters attacking at the same time, they greeted the black-clothed warrior with various unique blades, no matter how high his martial arts were, he could only drop Xie Yixiang for a while, waving the sword in his hand to face the battle.

In this way, the danger behind Xie Yixiang was gone, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Who knew how fierce he came to answer but didn't give her time to breathe, and immediately beckoned: "Miss Xie San, hurry up and follow me!" As he spoke, he actually reached out and grabbed Xie Yixiang's sleeve and led her all the way to the north.

Xie Yixiang froze slightly, and immediately understood what a fierce intention, he actually wanted to treat the dozen or so green forest masters under him as outcasts, in exchange for his own chance to escape. When she was frightened, she couldn't help but look back, but she saw that dozens of would-be would-be swordsmen in the blink of an eye, and then under the leadership of the black-clothed warrior, she continued to chase after herself and He Qimeng, who had evacuated north.

Seeing this situation, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but sigh secretly, I really don't know if I can still save my life in today's situation. But when he heard He Qimeng on the side, he suddenly said, "Please also ask Miss Xie San to take this pill quickly!"

When the words fell, He Qimeng had already stretched out his palm, and in the palm of his palm was a turquoise pill, about the size of a fingernail. Xie Yixiang was puzzled, and blurted out: "What is this?" He Qimeng was very anxious, so he had to make a long story short, and quickly explained: "The person who escaped from the other party has just asked someone to plant a poison in the woods in front of him to block the pursuit of the Japanese Bandits. And that's the antidote!"

Xie Yixiang was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that on the mountain range dozens of steps ahead of him, it was indeed a large dense forest, and he didn't know when he learned the trick of poisoning, and he could actually poison in such a vast forest. Seeing that the would-be robbers behind her were chasing after her, and there were more than a dozen masters with good light skills, who were already approaching the black-clothed warrior, she didn't care about it for a while, and hurriedly took the pill and swallowed it in a frenzy, and rushed into the forest in front of her with He Qimeng.

When the two entered the forest, they didn't notice anything unusual in the forest, so they just walked north through the forest. Who knew that after running more than a dozen steps away, Xie Yixiang suddenly felt dizzy and swelled, and almost fell asleep. Fortunately, a bitter taste rose from her stomach and surged up her throat, which could wash away the inexplicable sleepiness.

Xie Yixiang knew that this was the effect of the antidote just now. Since it was not long after taking it, the medicinal power had not yet completely spread, so in the face of this strange poison in the woods, I still had some reactions.

She turned her head to look behind her, and saw that the dozen or so would-be robbers who had chased her first had also broken into the woods one after another, but they were all like the symptoms she encountered, and most of them fainted on the spot. The rest of the widows apparently noticed the strangeness in the woods, and hurriedly held their breath and fled out of the forest in a hurry, not daring to continue the pursuit.

Among them, only the black-clothed warrior of the "Kendo Little Art of War" was an exception, and it was only at this moment that Xie Yixiang really saw this person's cultivation, not only holding his breath, but also continuing to chase after him. She was shocked and angry, and she didn't care about the fierce dissuasion at the moment, so she turned around abruptly in the middle of the run, and with a flick of her hand, she swung a crimson sword light at the black-clothed warrior behind her.

The black-clothed warrior didn't expect Xie Yixiang to dare to turn around and fight again, and hurriedly held the knife in both hands, taking the defensive position of "not moving like a mountain" and Xie Yixiang's chaotic dismantling of the knife, and in the blink of an eye, Xie Yixiang defused more than 20 attacks.

Unexpectedly, although the cultivation of this black-clothed warrior was better than Xie Yixiang's, but at this time, in this highly poisonous forest, the black-clothed warrior held his breath and made a move throughout the whole process, and it was inevitable that his breath was a little unsmooth. With these more than 20 moves, in the face of the internal strength of the "Autumn Water Changtian" that was integrated into Xie Yixiang's sword moves, the black-clothed warrior gradually fell behind.

Seeing that the other party was getting braver and braver, and was not affected by the poison in the woods at all, the black-clothed warrior knew that he would not be able to kill this girl who claimed to be the "descendant of the Central Plains Sword King" today, so he had to make two false moves and escape from this forest. Before leaving, he couldn't hold back the annoyance in his heart, and dropped a sentence in half-baked Chinese, and sneered coldly: "With the vast land of China, only one woman can go on the expedition, which shows that there is no man in the whole country!"

Although Xie Yixiang was angry in her heart, she didn't dare to chase and kill, so she had to ignore it, and continued to flee north with He Qimeng, passing through the entire forest all the way. In this way, with the barrier of this forest, the idea of chasing after the Japanese was completely cut off, and everyone who evacuated was saved from danger.

It wasn't until the two of them continued to march north for more than an hour that they finally caught up with the defeated armies on both sides.

At that moment, Xie Yixiang hurriedly joined everyone, and after a brief count, the entire 4,000-strong "Pingwu Coalition Army" had less than 500 people left after today's defeat, and half of the sergeants were wounded.

She went to discuss countermeasures with Yizi, who knew that Yizi put on a stinky face, didn't even glance at her from the corner of his eye, and said coldly: "The same loss of 2,000 men and horses is just a pain in the skin for the Hengwang rebels, but for the imperial court's current troops in Jiangnan, it is a pain in the broken arm! If you want to make an assertion and insist on cooperating with that dog thief to exterminate some bullshit and widows, then why do you have to ask me?"

Xie Yixiang was scolded by him speechlessly, as De Yizi said, if he hadn't been instigated by Yan Sidao in today's battle, he would have sent out a thousand troops and horses to attack Gu Yuncheng without authorization, and no matter what the victory or defeat of King Heng's rebels was, the two thousand people in his hands should not have been lost to this point, and even the two deputy generals Chen and Zhu were killed on the spot.

However, now that the matter has come to this, what should be done next, someone must come up with advice and lead the overall situation. Seeing that Yizi refused to talk to him, Xie Yixiang had no choice but to go to the crowd on the rebel side to ask Yan Sidao and General Sun.

General Sun was also anxious and at a loss at this time, so he could only look at Yan Sidao with Xie Yixiang, wanting to hear what his unfathomable military advisor was going to do next.

After today's defeat, and fleeing all the way to this point, Yan Sidao was already physically and mentally exhausted, but he still forcibly squeezed out a smile on his face, and said nonchalantly: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, so what is the way? This time, it was these three groups of Japanese robbers on the border of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who suddenly joined forces, which caught us off guard. However, in this way, it also gives us the opportunity to defeat these three groups of pirates together, so we don't have to run around in the back, so it's not a good thing......"

Speaking of this, he had already lit a pot of dry tobacco, exhaled a large mouthful of smoke, and said with a smile: "As for today, our 'peace and Japanese coalition army' has suffered such a great defeat and suffered heavy losses...... As long as a few of us are still there, whether it is to re-recruit soldiers or transfer soldiers from their respective camps, it is only a matter of time before we rebuild the army and horses, and wipe out the Japanese invaders. And what we have to do now is to recuperate and think about it in the long run. ”
