Chapter 245: Niutoushan
"He has passed away. Before his death, the old man passed on all the martial arts of Flaming Palm and his internal power to me." Xiao Chen was still a little sad when talking about this grandpa.
"Oh, that's how it is." Fu Yan nodded, "His skill for decades is really no small matter. Boss, if you don't say that the world is invincible, it should be rare. How can it be ineffective at times... ...Boss, did you ever get mad when you were practicing kung fu?"
"There is no magic, but there are fire escapes. When I practiced the flame palm for the first time, I accidentally used it and almost set the house on fire...After using it a few times, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't work. "Xiao Chen said.
"Well, this kind of situation is not very common in learning martial arts. It's just because you don't know martial arts, but you suddenly have powerful skills. This kind of thing is rare in a century, and the use of internal skills is all focused on , your heart is still not settled, so you can’t use it freely.”
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Chen continued to ask for advice.
"Uh... this is not easy to handle. If my skill is stronger than yours, I can help you guide it, but boss, your internal strength is probably ten times stronger than mine, and I can't lead you at all, unless you have to Only someone whose internal strength is stronger than yours." Fu Yan smiled wryly and shook his head.
But if it is said that the internal strength is stronger than Xiao Chen, I am afraid it is not easy to find, Fu Yan is not good, Tie Kunlun is not good, and even Li Tanhua is not good.
I don't know if Xiao Xinghan can do it?
Even if he can do it, I don't know if he is willing to help?
I'm afraid I won't.
The two were chatting, when suddenly Lu Fei got into the car and reported to the boss that Niutoushan had arrived.
"Ah? So fast..." Fu Yan was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately realized, "How many days have I been in a coma?"
It's been three days and now it's day four on the head.
Niutou Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, bordering Yinshan Mountain in the northwest, and at the end of the east is the only big river in Yanyun County, Yanyun River.
Because the two tallest peaks are juxtaposed, like the horns of an ox, it got its name. A city was built next to the mountain, called Niutoubao.
Niutoubao is a purely military pass. Over the years, only troops have been stationed, and there are no ordinary people. Therefore, the city is a military camp. It is very strong, but the scale is not very large.
At most, five thousand soldiers can be stationed there. Now that Xiao Chen's army has arrived, there is no room for them in the city.
Fortunately, there are still many barracks built before in the mountains behind the city. Li Tanhua has ordered people to rush to build more than a hundred temporary wooden houses in the past few days, which can barely accommodate the army.
Li Tanhua invited Xiao Chen to enter the city, but Xiao Chen refused, so many brothers are living outside to suffer from the cold, is it plausible that I, the boss, live in the city?
Since you don't want to live in the city, boss, how about living in a temple?
Xiao Chen said that I am not a monk, what is living in your temple, abbot?
Everyone couldn't hold him back, so they had to let him live in a drafty wooden house with the soldiers.
The boss refused to live in the city, and Zhuge Xiaosheng and others naturally couldn't settle in, so they simply set up the Chinese army tent on a high ground behind the city.
From here, you can overlook the outside of the city and grasp the entire battlefield situation. The soldiers in the city can also see the semaphore instructions, which is very convenient for commanding.
And here is a distance of several hundred meters from the outside of the city, even if the enemy troops set up catapults under the city, they would not be able to hit here.
In fact, when Wu Luolan led his troops to attack the city, he also used catapults, but the damage caused to the city was extremely limited.
Because the walls of Niutoubao are all made of stones hewn from the mountains. They are about two feet four to five feet high and five feet thick. Moreover, they are built close to the mountains, with an altitude of more than two hundred meters.
The bows and arrows in the city were shot fiercely, and Wu Luolan's catapult could not get too close, but if it was far away, the stones used were not heavy enough, and the power of throwing stones from the bottom to the top was too weakened, causing damage to the city. The damage is also very limited.
Moreover, Li Tanhua led dozens of monks and soldiers to rush to their rear camp at night and burned several of them, and Wu Luolan had to abandon them in the end.
When it comes to monks and soldiers, they are all monks, there are about five or six hundred of them, and each of them looks fierce, but there is no sign of mercy.
They assembled to meet Xiao Chen, but they all performed Namaste.
"You guys, are you a monk who crosses people, or a murderous demon?" Xiao Chen was also quite curious about this group of monks and soldiers.
"As Master Xiao said, let's pick up the knife and kill people, put down the knife and chant Buddha." A young monk said with a smile.
"I don't cultivate good fruits in my life, I just love to kill and set fire! One day, I will open the golden rope, and suddenly tear off the jade lock, hey! The lotus on the other side will appear in the heart, and the mud will know who I am!" A handsome monk also recited a gatha.
"Killing people is also crossing people. Anyway, we are sending them to the west, so there is no difference." Another monk with a fierce face said.
"Nonsense, we are all sent to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!" A tall monk said.
"Damn it, Huitong, Huihai, Huiwu, Huiming, are you four bastards talking to my boss? You don't understand the rules!" Li Tanhua on the side opened his mouth and scolded.
"Amitabha!" The four monks chanted the Buddha's name together, "The little ones dare not."
"Can you eat meat?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Returning to Master Xiao, you guys haven't touched meat for a long time." The young monk Hui said.
"The bird has already faded out of his mouth!" The one with the fierce face was called Hui Hai.
"If it wasn't for the big bugs in the mountains these days, our master wouldn't allow everyone to go hunting, and at least catch a few roe deer to eat." The tall monk was Hui Wu.
"Eat meat." The handsome Huiming finally said.
"Hahaha, only if you can eat meat can you have the strength to fight the enemy!" Xiao Chen immediately ordered the kitchen to stew meat in a big pot, and rewarded these monk soldiers and the soldiers who stood firm on Niutoushan.
You are all good men in China, and you are a good example for us guys to learn from...
After inspecting the monks and soldiers, they then received the soldiers of Niutoubao. Their original general was that Wu Ming.
But when this guy saw the strength of the Xianbo cavalry, he immediately became afraid of the enemy, wanted to put oil on his feet, and slipped away, but was hacked to death by Li Tanhua, and forcibly took over the command.
Under Li Tanhua's command, the soldiers repelled Wu Luolan's attacks again and again, and they performed quite bravely, but none of them was greedy for life and afraid of death.
This is the importance of generals. As the saying goes, if one general is incompetent, the whole army will be exhausted.
But as long as the general has outstanding ability, perseverance and courage, then no matter how weak the soldier is, he will cheer up and become a warrior!
Wu Luolan's troops have all left the country, and they are now camping about twenty miles north of Niutou Mountain, and more than ten miles away from their camp is Wanyan Pingqiu's 100,000 troops.
He really came!
Wu Luolan sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that she had sent someone to negotiate with Wanyan Pingqiu, but Wanyan Pingqiu's attitude was extremely ambiguous, and she did not say to give way, nor did she send troops to attack.
It seems that he is also at both ends of the first mouse now, and he can't make a decision.
But the situation is already very critical! !
