Water Margin Immortal Path

Xu Huai was hit by an arrow in the head, but he still survived. When Lu Junyi and others saw him, they all turned pale at each other.

Wu Song said to his warlock: "Who among you knows the origin of that old thief?"

Tang stepped forward and said: "For the Imperial Master, the old thief is called Xu Huai, whose nickname is Hu Lin, the old man next to him is called Xu He, the middle-aged woman is called Xu Qingniang, and the two later Xu Changsheng and Xu Weisheng are both The son of Xu He. Xu He was named Rongfu. He and Xu Huai were cousins, and he and Xu Qingniang were uncles and nephews. They studied under Chen Nianyi and both participated in the Neidian Zen Buddhism and had some magical power.

This Xu Qingniang is the aunt of Chen Xizhen's general Yan Shude. Her husband died early and she still had some magic power, so she returned to her parents' home and became Xu He's Taoist companion. "

Wu Song was surprised and said: "Xu Qingniang is Xu He's niece, how can she be his Taoist companion?"

Tang was slightly startled and said with a smile: "I think it's just a spiritual intercourse, not a physical peace, but I can't say for sure. After all, Taoist couples need spiritual intercourse to complement each other's yin and yang, so it's hard to believe that we can't help it. Although we are members of the hidden sect, we are not in the mainstream. sect, but much cleaner than these people!”

The more the warlocks and Wu Song thought about it, the more evil they felt, and they couldn't help laughing. Chen Liqing drew her bow and shot again, and the four girls Osmanthus fragrans and Mint also shot arrows into the inner city. Although these four girls were not as good as Chen Liqing in archery, they were still top-notch marksmen, using three-stone bows.

There were other archers in the army who were good at drawing strong bows. Under the leadership of the prodigal Yan Qing, they fired at the inner city one after another. The strong archers in the inner city also immediately fired back. Arrows flew back and forth from both sides. Some bows and arrows with insufficient range fell on them. There was an explosion on the ground, but it hit the steel wheel fire cabinet.

Steel-wheeled fire cabinets are a bit like landmines in later generations. They had been developed by the Mohists in the late Northern Song Dynasty and then appeared like a flash in the pan. Lost in the long river of history.

Wu Song's eyes flashed, and he ordered the soldiers to go down and carefully dig out a steel wheel fire cabinet, ready to be disassembled and assembled to understand the manufacturing method of this kind of firearm.

"As long as we figure out the manufacturing method and hand it over to the craftsmen in the camp, we can also use these old-fashioned mines to cover the main road of Qingyun Mountain so that Chen Xizhen can't get down the mountain."

Arrows were flying between the two cities, and the magicians walked down the city wall with Wu Song and Gongshu in their arms. There are only many generals left to command, and the entire outer city of Qingzhou is densely packed. They were all officers and soldiers, shooting into the inner city.

Liu Huiniang and others were also afraid of being accidentally injured by stray arrows. They came down one after another, raised flying towers in the city, and commanded from afar.

Wu Song immediately ordered people to push the trebuchet and blast it at the flying tower. Liu Huiniang had to get down from the flying tower and hide in the city to command secretly.

At this moment, a burst of cheers was heard from the outer city. Countless officers and soldiers shouted: "General Chen's magic arrow!" Wu Song hurriedly ordered people to ask. It turned out that Chen Liqing used a reinforced iron bow to name the inner city guards one by one, and shot Deng Zongbi to death with one arrow. Another arrow shot Xun Ping to death. Xin Congzhong was hit by the arrow and fell to the ground, not knowing whether to live or die.

Others whose names are unknown. I don’t know how many people died.

For a time, everyone in the city was in danger, and the generals were hiding behind the battlements, fearing that they would be shot if they showed up. Even so, Chen Liqing still used a series of arrows to collide in the air and shoot them behind the battlements. Several other generals were hit by arrows. , was carried down.

Unfortunately, they couldn't go down to the city wall at this moment. An army of warrior thieves were waiting outside the city, ready to attack the city at any time. The guards on the inner city used large shields to protect their bodies, and their morale dropped to the extreme.

Liu Huiniang immediately ordered people to move the captured Thunderbolt Chariot to the tower and fight back against Chen Liqing. As soon as those minions climbed the stairs, they were shot one by one by Chen Liqing and the four female generals Guihua. Even the Thunderbolt Chariot could not be used.

When the officers and soldiers in the outer city saw this, they cheered like thunder and shouted for divine arrows. Xiao Li Guanghuarong was recuperating in the city. Hearing louder calls outside, he immediately struggled to his feet, took three pots of arrows and a gun, and led his horse to lead an army.

Gongsun Sheng saw that his face was sickly red, and he quickly advised him: "You are sick, what are you doing out here?"

Hua Rong got on his horse, but the horse refused to move. It turned out that it was frightened by the pressure of the warriors. Hua Rong had to dismount and said: "The shouts of divine arrows outside the city are calling me to go into battle?"

Gongsun Sheng saw that he was a little unconscious, so he quickly told Chen Liqing about Chen Liqing's display of power and shooting of many generals in Qingzhou, and said: "You are still ill. It won't be too late to go into battle after you recover."

"How can a man be suppressed by a woman?" Hua Rong suddenly changed his color and led three hundred archers to the city. He saw that the defenders of the inner city were all prostrate on the ground, unable to raise their heads. When he looked up, he saw nothing but the outside. The city officers and soldiers shouted like thunder, and five female generals rode a machine beast, crisscrossing the outer city walls, killing people and killing Buddhas, but no one could stop her arrow!

Hua Rong was furious and ordered someone to bring up his hard bow, but it was a strong bow of ten stones. He pulled it open hard and shot at Chen Liqing. With a clang, he shot down the flower cherry on top of her head!

Chen Liqing was shocked and quickly looked around, only to see a sickly young general, wearing a golden helmet with phoenix wings covered with frost-dazzling red tassels, a Tang Ni armor inlaid with elm leaves and hooks, and a gold-plated lion belt around his waist. , with animal faces covering the front and back, wearing a crimson flowered war robe and a pair of cirrus yellow leather boots.

Although he looked sickly, he looked like a god with an arrow in his hand. Chen Liqing was confused when she heard Hua Rong say loudly: "That woman, Hua Rong of a certain family in Qingfeng Village, is the first arrow to show mercy. I don't want to shoot you with a secret arrow. You are also known as a magic arrow, do you dare to compete with me?" "

Chen Liqing has never encountered an opponent since she went to war. After hearing this, she stopped the machine beast and said with a smile: "Why don't you dare?" After saying that, he shot an arrow. Hua Rong sneered and shot another arrow. The arrows and arrows hit the ground and fell on the ground.

Hua Rong put three more bronze-toothed arrows on the string and shot them with all his strength. One arrow went straight to Chen Liqing, but Chen Liqing dodged it lightly. The other two arrows shot at Lu Junyi, but Lu Junyi deflected them with a spear, and the other one missed. He shot Hao Siwen in the heart and fell headlong off the tower, where he was smashed into a pulp.

Chen Liqing was shocked and angry. She saw Hua Rong shooting three more arrows. She quickly hung up three arrows and shot them into the wind. Unexpectedly, Hua Rong's three arrows collided with each other in the air. Only two of them were stopped by Chen Liqing. An arrow hit Yum General Han Tao. It penetrated from the eye socket and came out from the back of the head. He was also dead and could not die again.

The two heroic spirits, Han Tao and Hao Siwen, both flew to Qingyun Mountain.

Lu Junyi and other generals were frightened and quickly climbed down the city wall to report the matter to Wu Song. When Wu Song climbed up to the tower to take a look, he saw the drums of the thieves in the inner city shaking the sky. Shout out to the God of Arrow!

Hua Rong caught a glimpse of a general wearing a golden crown with a shining cloud dragon head and a pair of chain-linked golden armor climbing up the city tower. He was walking like a tiger and an owl, and there was an intimidating momentum in his movements. He thought to himself: "This person must be a warrior thief." There is no doubt that as long as he is shot, Huiniang Chen Liqing will be a joke!"

Hua Rong immediately put five arrows on his string and shouted loudly. The muscles are ferocious, and the body is climbing higher and higher. Shooting at Wu Song, the five arrows just left his hand. There was only a whistling sound, and the bowstring snapped. However, Chen Liqing noticed the flaw and shot his bowstring with an arrow.

The five arrows shot in front of Wu Song, and Wu Song grabbed them with his big hand. Hua Rong was stunned. At a loss. Chen Liqing wanted to shoot him to death with one arrow. Seeing this, he quickly stopped and shouted: "Hua Rong. You don't have a bow. If I take the opportunity to shoot you, I won't be considered a hero! Go and get the bow!"

Hua Rong glanced at Chen Liqing. He ordered someone to fetch a six-stone ground bow, which was already the hardest bow in the army. Hua Rong pulled it twice, but felt a little uncomfortable.

Liu Huiniang had heard about the arrow fight between Hua Rong and Chen Liqing, and quickly rose up from the flying tower to watch. Seeing that Hua Rong's arrow string was broken, she ordered someone to pick up the strengthened compound bow and step forward, saying: "General, the military counselor has made a strong bow. I wish you the best." The general can only pull away twice, and then he loses his strength. I wonder what the general can do? "

Hua Rong took the bow in his hand, pulled it hard, and said happily: "What a bow!"

Liu Huiniang then ordered someone to give him the pot of poisonous arrows and said: "This arrow is smeared with dove poison and its throat is sealed when it sees blood. The general can use this arrow to shoot at the warrior thief. If the warrior catches the arrow, he will definitely die!" With this poisonous arrow, the general has already won half the battle with Chen Liqing!"

Hua Rong threw the pot of poisonous arrows into the city and said angrily: "If I use poisonous arrows to win, what kind of hero would I be?"

Liu Huiniang knew that he was so arrogant that he even gave up the poisonous arrows. She couldn't help but sigh and ordered a trap beast to come over and said: "The general and Chen Liqing must fight arrows without a mount. This trap beast can advance or retreat as it pleases. I hope the general will succeed immediately."

Seeing that he had a bow and a mount, Chen Liqing said loudly: "Hua Rong, how about you and I go to the city to fight with arrows? The steel-wheeled fire cabinets under the city have been broken by bows and arrows. You and I are walking like beasts, competing against each other!"

Hua Rong readily agreed and ordered the three hundred archers: "I will compete with Chen Liqing and do not hurt her with hidden arrows."

Chen Liqing also ordered Guihua and others: "I am competing with Xiao Li Guanghua Rong, no one can shoot him secretly." Then she said to Wu Song: "Brother, you are not allowed to help me secretly."

"Call uncle!" Wu Song fondly touched her helmet. Chen Liqing was a little unhappy and led the machine beast down the outer city wall to the passage between the two cities. She saw Hua Rong also getting off the city wall, holding the hand. A unicorn beast, carrying a pot of arrows, a bow and a silver spear.

Seeing that he only had one pot of arrows, Chen Liqing said, "I don't want to take advantage of you." She threw away the two pots of arrows, leaving only one pot.

The two of them got on their mounts, and saw the two machine beasts flying away with their hooves flying.

Wu Song gave the order: "Beat the drum!" Immediately, the powerful man, bare-chested and holding a big wooden spine, beat the war drum to an astonishingly dull tone.

Liu Huiniang climbed up to the tower and ordered people to beat drums. She also ordered Zhu Yongqing to prepare. Seeing Chen Liqing's flaw, she shot her to death. Zhu Yongqing hesitated for a long time and still refused to agree. Liu Huiniang sighed secretly in her heart and said: "After all, Liqing is his unmarried wife and the daughter of Chen Daozi. Yongqing dare not take action. Shi Dalang is a useful person, but it is a pity that he does not know how to use arrows."

The generals on both sides temporarily stopped fighting and looked down the city. They saw Chen Liqing and Hua Rong running along the city road, each using their unique skills to shoot at the other side. There was still a steel-wheeled fire cabinet under the city that had not been detonated. It was stepped on by two huge machine beasts and exploded with a rumble.

These two machine beasts were extremely fast. They flew over and the explosion sounded, but they were not hurt at all.

Hua Rong is an expert in archery. He can shoot three arrows or five arrows, and they will collide with each other in the air, or bounce off the city wall. They are like clusters of flowers, making it difficult for people to guard against.

Chen Liqing's archery skills were slightly inferior, but not much different. Hua Rong could also block all of Hua Rong's arrows, but she was more defensive than offensive, and her arrows were consumed very quickly.

The two of them quickly consumed a pot of arrows, each got off the machine beast, picked up three arrows in their hands, jumped on the machine beast again, and said: "Compare three more arrows. If no one can do anything to the other, then compare them." Marksmanship, a battle of life and death!"

These three arrows were shot, and there was no difference between the winner and the loser. Hua Rong pulled out his silver spear and said loudly: "Have fun, have fun! Good girl, let's see the real marks on our marksmanship!"

Seeing Hua Rong's face getting redder and redder, as if she was drunk, Chen Liqing shook her head and said, "There's no need to compete. My archery skills are indeed not as good as yours. When it comes to marksmanship, you are not as good as me. You are sick. Go back and rest for two days to recuperate." I’ll never have a good illness again!”

Hua Rong laughed and said: "How can a big man be despised by a little woman?" Even though the machine beast came forward and danced with a silver gun, Chen Liqing had no choice but to raise the gun to meet him. After more than twenty rounds of fighting, Hua Rong could only see Hua Rong. Rong stood on the mechanism beast, his face was as red as cloth, and his strength was getting stronger and stronger. It was even more amazing than Chen Liqing's natural power!

Liu Huiniang and other rebels saw Hua Rong showing off his power, and ordered the warriors to beat the drums desperately to help the battle, and the drums were loud.

When Wu Song saw this, he couldn't help but became extremely anxious. He called the four girls of Osmanthus Mint and secretly ordered: "If Li Qing loses, shoot Hua Rong to death immediately!"

The four girls nodded in agreement.

Chen Liqing saw that Hua Rong's shooting skills were like a storm, and she stood on the back of the machine beast to resist it. After more than ten rounds, she saw that she couldn't hold on any longer. Hua Rong suddenly put away the gun, held the tail of the gun with both hands, and said with a smile :"how?"

Chen Liqing also put away her gun, looked at him with a complicated expression, stood on the machine beast and saluted Hua Rong, saying: "I lost, and you didn't win either. Hua Rong, the God of Arrows, what a pity..." turned and left. .

When Liu Huiniang saw that Chen Liqing had given up and Hua Rong had won a great victory, she said to Gongsun Sheng: "Hua Rong really doesn't use his full strength if he doesn't provoke the general. Now that our morale has been greatly improved, we can hold on for a little longer and wait for Chen Daozi to come to our aid." ”

Xu Huai said with a smile: "The warrior thieves rely on their bravery. Now they have met their enemies. Let's send Hua Rong to fight tomorrow and see who can stop him!" The Qingzhou generals looked happy and waited for a long time, but Hua Rong didn't come up.

Liu Huiniang was confused and said with a smile: "Could it be that he still complained that I had humiliated him and asked me to apologize to him? I still have the courage to do so." She ordered the soldiers to go down to the city to invite Hua Rong, while she stood aside with her hands folded. Prepare to apologize to Hua Rong. After waiting for a long time, I saw the soldier crawling up to the top of the city and crying: "General Hua... has passed away!"
