The master said not to judge people by their appearance

"Yuan Rong people are here! Let the arrows go!"

"Catapult! Catapult!"

"Oil! Pour the oil!"

Standing outside the city gate, Xie Yunlan heard the shouts of the soldiers defending the city from the tower.

The city tower was too high, and the wind and snow were vast, so he couldn't tell who was defending the city for a while, but judging from the situation of the two sides fighting, his side was in a one-sided defeat. The city charged swiftly.

They were all first-class warriors of the Yuan Rong, all of them were very skilled. When they fired a volley of arrows, many of them were shot and fell from the tower.

The corpse fell beside Xie Yunlan, shaking him soberly.

No matter what this place is, he can no longer stay here, he has neither a weapon nor an armor, he is simply a living target.

However, before he had time to withdraw from the battlefield, the Yuan Rong cavalry had already discovered him.

Immediately they turned their horses and came straight towards him.

Xie Yunlan turned around and ran. He ran up the glacier. Although Yazhou City was behind him, the Yuanrong people were attacking the city at the moment. Naturally, it was impossible for the guards to open the city gate to let him in. If they were too close to the city wall, they would be defended by their own side Arrows and kerosene hurt.

He can only run on the glacier, but how can human legs run faster than a horse's hoof, especially since he is still barefoot, just standing on the glacier for a while, he feels that his legs have been frozen to the point where he almost loses consciousness .

He was overtaken, and the hot air exhaled by the horse's nose sprayed on his frozen back. At the same time, he also felt a coldness different from ice and snow, it was the cold light of a weapon!

He immediately lowered his body, rolled sideways on the spot, took advantage of the gap between the opponent riding past him on horseback, grabbed the black armored warrior's foot, and pulled the opponent off the horse with all his strength.

He himself turned over and jumped on the horseback with this pulling force. Everything happened in an instant, but in the blink of an eye, he eliminated a cavalryman in an extremely neat way without any weapons, and at the same time captured a war horse.

However, there were more cavalry behind him, and these people were chasing closely. Xie Yunlan heard the sound of the lasso swinging again, and at the same time, there were cavalry who had already chased him, and were slashing at him with their swords.

Xie Yunlan made a decisive decision. He turned his horse's head and slammed into the cavalry beside him. He jumped up before the impact, stepped on the opponent's slashing blade with one foot, and kicked the opponent's chest with the other.

He kicked the opponent off the horse, and at the same time stretched out his hand to catch the long knife that the opponent dropped.He immediately slashed back after holding the knife, cutting off the lasso that was coming straight at him.

There were more than a dozen cavalrymen chasing him, but he was not at a disadvantage in the face of so many pursuers by himself. He first snatched the horse and then the weapon, and even killed two opponents in a row.

Give Xie Yunlan a little more time, he can plan to get rid of these dozen cavalry one by one, but I don't know if his luck is too bad, the horse he was riding actually slipped on the glacier, and one slipped and fell to the ground , it seemed that he had broken his leg and could no longer stand up, Xie Yunlan was forced to abandon his horse.

Fortunately, there was an empty horse beside him. Xie Yunlan was about to flip onto the back of the empty horse when he suddenly felt a strong wind. He immediately dodged, accompanied by a horse neighing. At this moment, the horse that was riding had been shot through the skull by an arrow and nailed to the river.

Such domineering strength!

Although the archer is not far from here, but to have such penetrating power, the strength of the bow-drawer must be quite strong. Compared with Wang Tai, there is only one person who can do it in Xie Yunlan's life. in this way.

He turned his head abruptly, and saw the black armored warrior walking towards him slowly, passing through a crowd of cavalrymen.

The Yuanrong people are a hunting people. Compared with the Xia people who are good at farming, they are usually taller and bigger, and this person in front of him is taller than most Yuanrong people. It is Xie Yunlan who is facing him. , will feel a mountain-like sense of oppression.

He is the king of Yuanrong, the Great Chanyu Talgu!

Although Talgu is now covered with an iron mask that covers his entire head and face for some reason, making it difficult to see his face clearly, Xie Yunlan will never mistake this opponent who has been entangled for seven years!

Talgu dropped the big bow in his hand, and he pulled out the blade on his back. It was the black gold wide-backed wolf's head knife that was as frightening as himself, with countless dead souls under the knife!

The flickering coldness of the blade was even more bone-piercing than the ice and snow all over the sky. The scar on Xie Yunlan's chest was thanks to this knife. At this moment when the old man met, he felt a dull pain from the healed wound.

Xie Yunlan took a deep breath, clenched the fingers holding the knife inch by inch, and there was no fear in his eyes.

He didn't know what was going on, why the dead could be resurrected, and why he came to this glacier, but even if he did it again, he would definitely win!

This is not only about his personal success or life, but also about the entire Great Xia. The souls of the [-] soldiers and civilians in Yazhou City have not rested in peace. If Talgu is not eliminated, the Yuan Rong people will not stop their conquest of Great Xia.

In the boundless wind and snow, Xie Yunlan took the lead in attacking, and he swung his saber brazenly, so fierce that the wind and snow stopped him!

The horse under Talgu's seat was startled by the saber energy, neighed, and wanted to retreat, but Talgu tightened the reins with his domineering strength, forcing it to stay where it was.

With a sound of "铛", the blatant blow was firmly caught by the wolf's head knife. At the same time, Talgu raised the reins, and the horse he led raised its front legs, and kicked Xie Yunlan's chest fiercely with the horse's hooves nailed with iron palms.

Xie Yunlan dodged it, and he struck again, and Talgu also swung the heavy wolf's head knife at the same time.

But in an instant, the two passed several tricks.

Talgu's strength coupled with the heavy wolf-headed knife is like a tiger with wings. Every time he swings the knife, Xie Yunlan can block it in time, but his arm is numb from the shock. It's okay for a short time. But over time, his hands will gradually lose strength, and finally he can't hold the handle of the knife.

In the several confrontations with Talgu, Xie Yunlan faced such a predicament. In the seven years of leading the army, he has been studying and pondering this opponent and thinking about ways to defeat him, but he has never had any good ideas.

Until that time, in the imperial city of Yuanrong, in the moment of life and death, he realized the way to break it.

After dozens of rounds, Xie Yunlan's hands gradually lost strength, and he could no longer hold the handle of the knife as he did at the beginning. There was a hole in his chest, and Talgu immediately swung his knife towards his chest like a wolf smelling blood.

Xie Yunlan had already leaned back immediately, but she still couldn't dodge in time. The clothes on her chest were cut open, and the healed wound was torn apart again. Everything was the same as a year ago.

And Talgu's weaknesses and flaws are the same as a year ago. There are advantages and disadvantages. While the heavy wolf's head knife helped him become even more powerful, it also slowed down his movements. I will pay attention, but in that moment of life and death, the world seemed to slow down suddenly. Xie Yunlan realized that it was difficult for him to quickly withdraw the knife and return to defense after the knife was released. This was his flaw!

Xie Yunlan grabbed the reins while leaning back, he jumped up with his strength, and slashed at Talgu's head!

With a "bang", the head wearing the iron helmet fell to the ground, Xie Yunlan supported his chest and couldn't help panting.

He won again.

However, before he felt a little joy of victory, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, because there was no blood on the ground, or in other words, only his blood, not Targu's.

Blood should have spewed out like a spring from a wound like a severed head, but there was not even a trace of blood on Talgu's neck.

Xie Yunlan looked intently at the iron helmet that fell to the ground, only to see nothingness.

There was no head in that helmet, it was empty, nothing.

And the body that lost its head did not fall down, he was still sitting upright on the horse, and he could even move freely.

He picked up the iron helmet with the wolf's head knife and put it back on his neck. The iron armor covered his face to cover up the truth inside, and he turned back into the tall black armored warrior before.

Xie Yunlan was astonished. He looked around and saw that all the Yuanrong warriors were covered with such iron armor, covering their faces. He thought it was strange before, why he only heard the sound of his own troops dispatching troops to command the battle when they attacked the city. But there was no call for orders, and they never shouted when they chased themselves. This group of black armored knights was as silent as the frozen river. Now that I think about it, it is because there is nothing under these black armors. No sound!

This was a scene beyond Xie Yunlan's comprehension, he took two steps back, he realized that all this must be related to the demon, he couldn't solve it, he had to find Shen Fan!

He turned around and wanted to escape, but how could the Yuanrong people let him go, Talgu waved his arms, the horses neighed in unison, and when they ran together, the ice was shaking!

Xie Yunlan wanted to grab another horse as before, but his luck seemed to be extremely bad today. He kicked a Yuan Rong soldier off the horse, and when he was about to turn over by grabbing the rein, the rein suddenly broke for no reason.

He fell to the ground, Yuan Rong cavalry caught up with him, he missed his only chance to escape, the lasso hit him from many directions, Xie Yunlan swung his knife and chopped off part of it, every movement of him affected the wound on his chest, blood It kept flowing, leaving a long trail of bloodstains where it ran along the way.

With the cold and blood loss, Xie Yunlan gradually lost his strength, the handle of the knife slipped from his hand, and the noose wrapped around his neck. The Yuanrong people tightened the rope from all sides, restraining him in place and making him unable to move.

Talgu drove his horse and walked slowly in front of Xie Yunlan, and put the blade of the wolf's head knife on Xie Yunlan's neck.

Xie Yunlan raised his head and looked at the cold iron surface. This would be the last scene he saw before he died.

The wolf's head knife moved away slightly, and then with a sharp saber aura, it slashed down brazenly!

Xie Yunlan closed his eyes.

But the next moment, the pain of separation from the body and head did not hit as expected. When Xie Yunlan opened his eyes again with some doubts, he saw the group of Yuanrong soldiers turning their heads in unison and looking behind him together.

He also looked back, the vast wind and snow was like a huge white curtain, covering the world, but in the distance in the wind and snow, he saw a flame.

The fire is bright but warm, which is incompatible with and completely different from the icy wind and snow here.

The wind and snow howled, and the snow seemed to increase a lot in an instant, roaring to put out the fire.

But they couldn't even get close to the flame, all the wind and snow melted under the light of the fire.

At the end of the glacier, Shen Fan came here with a lamp in his hand, burning through the wind and snow.

He came to Xie Yunlan's side and dispelled the coldness of the ice and snow. Xie Yunlan felt in a trance that his body, which was losing temperature, was warmed up again.

The rope around his neck was burned at some point, and those Yuanrong soldiers who were only one step away from killing him looked like statues at this moment, and they watched all this in silence.

Shen Fan stood in front of Xie Yunlan, silently confronting Talgu's icy iron face.

Xie Yunlan heard the sound of "cracking", the ice surface was cracking, and the crack appeared between them and Yuanrong soldiers, and the crack became bigger and bigger, until the two ice surfaces were completely separated.

As if some connection was suddenly broken, Xie Yunlan watched as the ghostly Yuan Rong army gradually turned into an invisible black spot as it drifted away from the ice.

He didn't have time to ask Shen Fan the reason for all this, as if he had consumed too much before, he felt that his consciousness was sinking uncontrollably, and he passed out.

And then, suddenly woke up.

wake up.
