Chapter 319: Observing the sword

Five hundred iron cavalry rolled out of the position and killed toward the troop more than ten miles away with an unstoppable momentum.

The reputation mentioned by the eunuch referred to the evaluation of the various parties in this hunt. Prince Jin, Prince Cheng, and Prince Ying made evaluations on the performance of all parties. The number of Liao people hunted by each party and whether they opened the treasure house had corresponding scores, and the sum of the two was the basis for the total ranking of this hunt.

Xiang Weiyuan was worried about how to be at the bottom, and it would be best if the reputation could be negative.

The troop flying the flag of the Yunxiang Regional Commander in the distance had fifty scouts and four hundred and fifty infantry, all wearing light armor, which was the standard mountain Mobile Corps Commander equipment.

The captain was a Assistant Regional Commander. Hearing the sound of hooves, he looked back and saw the large iron cavalry killing toward them, and his face turned pale!

The Autumn Hunt field was full of mountains, who would bring a heavy iron cavalry in for no reason? Some places couldn't even pass!

Furthermore, the hunted Liao pigs and Liao sheep at most had a leather coat on their bodies, and their weapons were only iron knives and long spears; it was impossible to have strong bows and hard crossbows, and there was no need for heavy armor to deal with them. Heavy armor would only limit their actions, and in the mountains, only light-armored infantry could act freely.

The Assistant Regional Commander thought about it again, and looking at the direction the heavy armored cavalry was killing from, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his heart: "Xiang the barbarian's people! That's right, they are going to grab the treasure house!"

The Assistant Regional Commander made a decisive decision, ordered the scouts to break away from the main force, rushed straight to the treasure house, and then led the remaining infantry to form a horizontal formation to block Xiang Weiyuan. The Assistant Regional Commander knew that his master had a conflict with Xiang Weiyuan, so naturally, he wouldn't let Xiang Weiyuan easily get the treasure house.

Seeing that the opponent had actually formed a horizontal formation with only two rows front and back, a sneer appeared on Xiang Weiyuan's face, and then he made a gesture. Xu Yi exhaled and shouted from afar: "Daring to block the path of the Regional Commander, the crime deserves death! Quickly take off your armor and kneel on the left side of the road, and you can still save your life!"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, and her cultivation was high, spreading far away, and could be heard clearly within dozens of miles.

The Assistant Regional Commander sneered in his heart and said loudly: "In the big hunting ground, everyone can walk, how can there be a saying of blocking the road? Besides... you!"

Seeing the iron cavalry running closer and closer, without stopping at all, the Assistant Regional Commander finally changed color!

He moved dozens of zhang horizontally in an instant, avoiding the front of the iron cavalry, and then saw Cui Yu thrust a spear from the place where he had just stood, and immediately broke into a cold sweat!

They were actually doing it for real?!

Hundreds of heavy iron cavalry rushed over the horizontal formation formed by the light-armored infantry, like mountain stones grinding over eggs. Blood flashed everywhere, hundreds of infantry were knocked flying by war horses, and many were directly picked up by the cavalry's long spears.

By the time the large iron cavalry rolled over, only half of the infantry who could stand remained.

The Assistant Regional Commander was surprised and angry. Just this one move caused at least two or three hundred casualties in the team. How did they dare to do it for real?!

He suddenly felt the surroundings darken. Looking up, he saw a shadow above his head expanding rapidly, and at the same time, it carried an irresistible pressure, making him tremble all over, unable to move for a while!

With a bang, a large pit appeared on the ground. In the center of the pit was a warrior statue, sitting cross-legged, with a horse-slashing knife placed on his knees, not angry but majestic.

Just looking at the size of this pit, one knew how powerful the statue was falling from the sky. At this time, the Assistant Regional Commander under its butt didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

The terrain in the vicinity was flat, and it was only a few miles away to the mountainous area. The surviving infantry knew that it was impossible to resist heavy cavalry on this terrain, and the corpses all over the ground had already shown that the other party was truly unscrupulous and killed as soon as they said so. They didn't dare to resist anymore, all knelt down, and then according to Xiang Weiyuan's request, took off all their armor and piled them in one place. Cui Yu and Xu Yi, together with seven or eight Dao Foundations, worked together to throw the armor and weapons into the air, and then summoned a strong wind, blowing them dozens of miles away in one breath. Looking at the two hundred white-striped men, Xiang Weiyuan finally felt his thoughts were clear and his mood was comfortable, and ordered to withdraw the troops.

In this hunt, relying on two hundred white-striped men, Lu Wenbai should be nailed to the eighth place. He still couldn't shake Xiang Weiyuan's ninth place.

Returning to the position, Xiang Weiyuan left dozens of people to alert, and let the remaining knights return to the camp, those who should sleep, sleep, those who should be dazed, be dazed. He himself returned to the central military tent and sat quietly observing the sword.

A hundred miles away, Prince Jin's camp main hall.

Lu Wenbai looked at Xiang Weiyuan's large face observing the sword, and had the urge to smash a punch on it.

He stood up abruptly and said: "Holy King! Xiang Weiyuan acts strangely, destroys the hunt, and his crime deserves death!"

In the center of the main hall was a sand table model of the entire Autumn Hunt field. This thing was actually a Fenhai Zhenjun-level magic treasure, which could present the scenes of all places in the hunting ground according to the controller's will.

It was a replica of the famous immortal treasure Heaven and Earth Chessboard. After investing national fortune and laying out the layout, the chess pieces would fight each other, simulating the general trend of the world. Depending on the amount and difference of the invested national fortune, it had a certain ability of foresight, and if the luck was good, it might be able to glimpse a line of heavenly secrets.

Since it was a chessboard, the chess pieces naturally had to be fair, so the battle was limited to below the Dharma Form, and the power of magic treasures exceeding the limit would also be suppressed by the great array.

Everyone knew that the Autumn Hunt was firstly Prince Jin's examination of everyone's ability to govern the army, and secondly, a sacrificial act to seek heavenly secrets, so naturally, no one who didn't open their eyes dared to destroy the rules in front of the King, privately sending Dharma Form cultivators to sneak in and kill all three parties. Even if they fought, it had to be fair.

Otherwise, Prince Jin losing some prizes was a small matter, but destroying the annual sacrifice and losing the heavenly secrets, I fear beheading would be light.

Prince Jin sat high on the upper seat, and when he heard this, he just said: "The chess pieces enter the game, how to act depends only on themselves, and I cannot interfere. If Minister Lu has any objections, why not wait until the hunt is over."

Lu Wenbai had participated in the hunt many times, and naturally knew that it was impossible to deal with Xiang Weiyuan halfway, but he just called for a grievance, occupying the truth first.

In the hall, besides Prince Ying and Prince Cheng, the Crown Prince and Prince Wei were also present. In addition, there was a small boy sitting, who looked delicate and cute, and was trying to look old-fashioned at this moment, looking at the sand table seriously, it was Prince Fu. Sitting at the outermost was a man with a determined face, his armor was gray-white, clearly from the northern border army. In the past, this position was generally occupied by Yue Jinshan, but he had just been punished and demoted, so he was replaced by someone else.

Except for Prince Wei and Prince Fu, everyone else had at least a Dharma Form cultivation base. Xu Tongshou and Lu Wenbai, the two Regional Commanders, were both late-stage Dharma Form cultivators.

Looking at Xiang Weiyuan's face pretending to be deep above the sand table, Lu Wenbai gritted his teeth secretly. Xiang Weiyuan was only in the middle stage of Dao Foundation, only slightly stronger than Prince Fu who was not yet eight years old, why could he be listed with him?

Prince Jin's thoughts moved, and he switched to other areas. Xiang Weiyuan shrank back, introspected and observed the sword, his large face motionless for a long time, really nothing to see.

Lu Wenbai's troop was defeated, which was also expected. Infantry was at an absolute disadvantage against cavalry, and they didn't expect the other party to really do it. Two layers of horizontal formation against heavy cavalry charge was simply suicide, and they lost not unjustly.

The screen switched, and suddenly a small team of Liao people appeared. They hid behind a pile of rubble, peeked slightly, and looked at the valley below.

Prince Jin's heart moved, the screen changed again and again, and every time it changed, a group of Liao people would appear, ranging from a dozen to a hundred, all hiding behind the rubble.

Around this valley, more than a dozen groups of Liao people were actually ambushed, adding up to fear that there could be more than a thousand people!

A team of Western Jin soldiers with bright armor appeared. They lined up in a long snake formation, running fast, rushing into the valley, and running all the way along the flat valley bottom. Passing through this valley, it was less than thirty miles to a treasure house.

This troop wore red armor with yellow decorations, which could be called bright and horse-like, extremely eye-catching, and on the large flag they carried was a large "Fu" character.

Several gazes swept over Prince Fu quietly, then withdrew. Prince Fu looked calm, but in fact, his small lips had gradually lost their blood color, and his hands were gripping his sleeves tightly.

Amidst the roaring sound, several large stones rolled down, cutting the team entering the valley into front and back sections, and also blocking the exit of the valley. Countless Liao people appeared on the high ground on both sides, picked up stones and smashed them down, immediately smashing the soldiers below, causing heavy casualties.

Several generals under Prince Fu roared and rushed toward both sides, trying to attack the high ground. But a few people immediately appeared among the Liao people, all of whom had middle and late-stage Dao Foundation cultivation. They took action to block the generals, not letting them rush up the high ground.

!.

The leading Assistant Regional Commander saw that his subordinates were suffering heavy casualties, and was anxious, pulled out his waist knife, and the knife Qi soared into the sky, straight up dozens of zhang! This knife actually had the power of late-stage Dharma Form!

Several gazes swept over Prince Fu again without moving, seeing his small face flushed with excitement, biting his lower lip and constantly being ruthless, they all shook their heads secretly: it was just a spoiled child.

If it weren't for the fact that Dao Foundation couldn't use Fenhai Zhenjun magic treasures, I fear the adults behind him would have really bestowed one or two Fenhai Zhenjun magic treasures.

Prince Wei had disdain in his eyes, and he almost wrote the word "cheating" on his face. It was the Crown Prince who had a wooden expression, without the slightest fluctuation.

In the Autumn Hunt field, the knife light appeared, and it attracted layers of suppression, finally leaving only ten zhang of knife light, suppressed from late-stage Dharma Form to early-stage Dharma Form. But even so, this knife was also infinitely powerful, and with one sweep, more than ten Liao people were cut into two halves!

The Liao people who finished smashing the stones roared and rushed into the valley.

The soldiers of Prince Fu, who were bright in armor, were all tall and strong, with excellent appearance. At this time, many of them were scared out of their wits, actually kneeling and begging for mercy. The Liao people didn't hesitate, and with a wave of their knives, they easily cut off their heads.

Prince Fu's small face was pale, and the tears that were already spinning finally fell ungratefully.

A moment later, the Assistant Regional Commander was hit by more than ten arrows and knelt down and died. The crossbow arrows were carried by his own soldiers, picked up by the Liao people, and used against him instead.

The Liao man holding the iron spear had multiple wounds on his body. But he didn't care about the wounds, went over, picked up the Dharma Form-level treasure knife, and slashed his chest open, pouring hot blood on it. The light on the knife flickered several times, and finally stopped flashing.

The Liao man held the knife and waved it, slashing out a blood-colored knife light of several zhang, actually subduing this knife.

The blood-colored knife light he slashed out, although its power dropped again, also grazed the edge of Dharma Form.

Everyone in the hall was somewhat unbelievable. The Liao people who were originally hunted as pigs and sheep now had a Dharma Form-level treasure knife in their hands?

Prince Fu's Assistant Regional Commander was beheaded, and five hundred soldiers were wiped out. The Liao people immediately stripped off the dead soldiers' armor, put it on themselves, and in the blink of an eye, half of the Liao people changed into the attire of Prince Fu's army, and several leaders transformed into generals in Prince Fu's army.

Several Liao leaders gathered together to discuss, and then sent out a dozen cavalrymen to disperse in all directions, clearly scouting the surrounding information. The large group of Liao people pretended to be prisoners, escorted by Prince Fu's army, and left the valley.

They had only walked less than three miles when a troop appeared in front, blocking their way; it was the troop under the Crown Prince.

The general leading the army saw hundreds of Liao prisoners being escorted, greed appeared on his face, and he rode over, saying: "Is this Prince Fu's troop? Hehe, it's just hunting, why are you so embarrassed? Also, why catch these people, why don't I help you share some..."

Before he finished speaking, a blood-colored knife light flashed, and the Assistant Regional Commander's head had already flown high!

Before the words were finished, a flash of blood-colored blade light swept past, and the Assistant Regional Commander's head was already flying high into the air!
