Sword wash the setting sun

Chapter 204 The Swordsman
Xiao Haimo was waiting for the Liao Lord's army ten miles away from the valley. Looking from a distance, the Liao army passed by billowing with smoke and dust, covering the sky and covering the sky; nearer, swords and guns were like forests, and the majesty of the king was everywhere...

"My lord, General Xiao Haimo, the vanguard officer cavalry battalion, is asking to see you!" A personal guard announced from outside the chariot.

"Oh?" Lord Liao opened the curtain, and asked in a little thought, "Isn't Liaodong here?"

"No, after passing the mountain in front is the boundary of Liaodong."

"What is General Xiao's purpose here to greet you?"

"Subordinates are stupid..."

"The three armies rest on the spot and let General Xiao come to see me!"

"Yes!" The guard immediately conveyed the Lord's will.

Not long after, the army completed the simple deployment and set up camp.Lord Liao stretched his limbs and paced in the big camp. The boats and cars were exhausted. This kind of march made Lord Liao feel sore all over...

"General Xiao, please see me!"

Following the announcement of the guards, Xiao Haimo entered the camp, only to see Sui Zheng civil and military lined up on both sides, Liao Lord standing in front full of exhaustion.Xiao Haimo saw the military division nodded slightly, knowing that the secret letter had been received, he felt a little at ease in his heart, and quickly stepped forward and knelt down on the ground.

"The last general Xiao Haimo respectfully welcomes the lord, the lord is a thousand years old!"

"Why do you need to make a big salute when Aiqing is in armor, get up quickly."

"The subordinates dare not, and the subordinates ask the Lord to come down."

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. How can you kneel on the ground like this and let me listen to your military report..."

Seeing that Lord Liao never blamed him, Xiao Haimo felt at ease again, "Thank you Lord Long En! Xiao Haimo is too dazed to repay the Lord's great favor!"

As he spoke, Xiao Haimo bowed his head to thank him, and got up and stood respectfully by his side.

"I heard that you were blocked in the valley, and the Dragon Slayer League actually has such strength?"

"The Dragon Slayer League is a loose warrior in the world. I thought I didn't know how to arrange troops, so I fell into it..."

"Oh? You mean someone in the Dragon Slayer League knows the art of war?"

"Yes!..." Xiao Haimo explained everything from his confrontation with the Dragon Slayer League to being trapped in the valley, and finally hesitated whether to tell the story of being captured today and Shangguan Kai on paper, "And..."

"And what, but it doesn't matter."

Xiao Haimo knelt down on the ground again with a "plop", "And today the entire army of my subordinates was captured, insulting the king's prestige, please forgive me!"

Lord Liao's face turned from white to red, and then to blue-purple.Xiao Haimo's advance was blocked. He also heard the report from the scouts, and he didn't take it seriously.But what I said just now that the whole army was captured today was beyond my expectation.

Not only did Liao Lord's expression change drastically, but all the officials in the group turned pale with shock, except for the military division who had learned something from the secret letter earlier.The cavalry of the Liao army, the most elite troops were captured...

"It's not telling the truth!" Lord Liao shouted after stabilizing his emotions.

"This morning..." Xiao Haimo narrated what happened today, and after finishing speaking, he felt peaceful in his heart.

It's not a man's nature to hide it, let alone Xiao Haimo led the army to fight with iron bones, and it is only natural that he would lose his head if he explained the whole story.

"You mean that there is a Shangguan Kai in the Dragon Slaying League who is well versed in the art of war?"

"Yes! The last general is not talented, and the way of using soldiers is ashamed!" Xiao Haimo said in a deep voice.

Lord Liao shifted his gaze to the military division, "What does the military division think about this matter?"

"There is no shortage of talented people in the Central Plains. It is not surprising that there are such high-level people in the Dragon Slaying League!"

"That's right, how can my majestic Liao army work hard and return without success!" Liao Lord nodded, "General Xiao obeys orders!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"The widow allows you to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, so that you can return to the army to prepare, and the army will launch a general attack tomorrow!"

Xiao Haimo raised his head and saw Lord Liao's resolute face, and then turned back to look at the military adviser, whose eyes just collided with him.The military master shook his head slightly to signal that he should stop talking, Xiao Haimo had no choice but to give up his plan of persuading Lord Liao to stop the army, "Thank you Lord Long En!"

Xiao Haimo withdrew from the tent, feeling quite relieved.With military divisions in the formation, it is not impossible for the Liao army to break through the valley.Even if each member of the Tulongmeng has unique skills, they are a mob after all, and it is not yet known who will die in a real fight.It's not a breach of promise that I promised to dissuade the Lord of Liao from stopping his troops. Even the military adviser couldn't persuade him, let alone being guilty of a crime.

Back in the valley, Xiao Haimo gathered his troops and came to the entrance of the valley to call for battle.

The war drums were like a rainbow, and Yu Fu heard the sound and came to Taniguchi.

"What does General Xiao mean?"

"Leader Yu quickly retreated, my lord's army has arrived, and today's battle is just a good word of persuasion to repay the favor of not killing! Please think twice, Lord Yu!"

"General Xiao kindly wishes Yu Fu to represent the leader of the Dragon Slayer League! Since the Liao Lord is determined to fight, we, the Dragon Slayer League, will accompany us to the end! General Xiao and I have settled the accounts of the Dragon Slayer League, so there is no need to worry about it."

"Thank you for your understanding! Since this is the case, we are each masters, and tomorrow we can only compete on the battlefield!" Xiao Haimo finished speaking and retreated.

Yu Fu looked at the Liao army with a cloud of gloom in his heart.

Qian Lixiang's medicine has been used up, and it's too late to make it again, not to mention the lack of herbs; the Liao Lord's army is overwhelming, and the Dragon Slayer League only has this valley to defend...

"Let the principals of each sect see me!" Yu Fu ordered while thinking about countermeasures.

Not long after, all members of the Dragon Slayer League gathered in the temporary camp to discuss countermeasures.

"In my opinion, let's make a sneak attack tonight and destroy the iron cavalry battalion first!" Wu Chao, the leader of the Beggar Gang, spoke first, "It's all because of the kindness of the leader. Today, the entire army of the iron cavalry battalion should be beheaded and given to the Liao Lord. A big greeting!"

"Hey! What's the point of talking now, let's focus on the present..." Someone sighed and continued.

"In my opinion, let's take the head of Liao Lord Xiangshang tonight, and see how the Liao army will fight tomorrow!" Someone suggested.

"Although this is the most effective, but the success rate can be imagined, acting rashly will only increase casualties!" Yu Fu shook his head and vetoed.

……

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either. I said it's better for us to retreat into the mountains and become turtles with shrunken heads!" Wu Chao was anxious, and he spit out his unhappiness. It was even more unpleasant, "I said smelly Taoist priests and great monks, you Wulin Taishan Beidou get some advice!"

"We are the Dragon Slaying League now, so naturally we will obey the leader's orders! Leader Yu's heart is kind, and it is my blessing in martial arts." The head of Wudang praised first, kicked the ball to Yu Fu calmly, and then clasped his fists at Yu Fu. Fu said, "The leader's countermeasures are naturally well-known, why don't you speak directly to solve everyone's doubts."

"We are outnumbered. We will lose this battle. I hope everyone is ready to evacuate. Tomorrow, I will negotiate with the Liao lord. If it fails, we will stick to the entrance of the valley until late at night, and then wait for the opportunity to leave and retreat to the depths of the snow-capped mountains."

Although everyone was aggrieved, there was no better way, and there were sighs.

These were already expected by Yu Fu. Since the establishment of the Dragon Slaying League, there has been no peace.Immediately comforting everyone, he said, "Don't be upset, everyone. It is the most important thing for my Central Plains martial arts line to preserve its strength and make a comeback. Now it is expedient to avoid its edge. I hope everyone understands the importance of it."

"If there is nothing else, please go back! I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle before the battle tomorrow..."

Everyone had no other choice, they left one after another and returned to their camps one after another.

Although Shangguan Kai has the talent of a general, the Dragon Slaying League is not an army after all.It was just talking on paper before, but the enemy's method of breaking through the valley was still well established, so he organized troops overnight to do a good job of fortification to meet the needs of tomorrow's battle.
