Chapter 348 The Battle of Hulao Pass
Chapter 348 The Battle of Hulao Pass
Seeing this, Chen Changfan immediately had a bad feeling.
Because if the plot unfolds like this, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen next, maybe the reunion with family members is not as expected, or a new accident occurs.
This is not because Chen Changfan is worrying about nothing, it is because the world is too chaotic.
Ever since Zhou Xing joined the army, he has been either fighting bandits or on his way to fight bandits.
Bandits are everywhere, as numerous as ant holes.
There are also farmers who are honest during the day, but at night they cover their faces, pick up knives and guns, and become bandits who rob and kill.
Since the bandit threat has not been resolved, why should we move the battle to another place?
They were probably afraid that the bandit problem here was worse and the imperial court paid more attention to it, so they moved here.
After a while, lines of text appeared before my eyes like ink.
The next morning, as you entered the village, you saw that the smoke from the cooking stove had died down and the house was empty.
[Neighbors told me that banditry is rampant right now. My parents went into town to buy medicine a few days ago and haven't returned since.]
"Maybe they were kidnapped by bandits yesterday. I heard she was horribly abused..." The neighbor trailed off. Your heart ached, tears blurring your vision. You knelt before the door, stroking the doorframe with trembling hands, remembering your parents' caresses and laughter from your childhood, overcome with grief.
After calming down, your gaze became resolute again. You vowed to kill all the gangsters in the world and avenge your parents.
Fortunately, he didn't become a robber.
Chen Changfan felt a little relieved.
Otherwise, it would be the cruelest thing for Zhou Xing to point the long knife at his parents who raised him.
[You returned to the army and received the order to suppress the bandits. You took the initiative to lead the charge and led your brothers to break through the bandits' stronghold.]
The bandits put up a fierce resistance. Your brothers fell one after another, and you were also wounded by an arrow. Your brothers urged you to stop charging, but you fought on with increasing courage, leading your team to break through the enemy lines. You fought your way into the bandit camp, heading straight for the bandit leader, but suddenly someone appeared on the way.
[That person's features bear some resemblance to yours. He was visibly taken aback when he saw you, and then a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.]
[He is your so-called biological brother, but now he is also your enemy.]
When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with jealousy. You used all your strength in every move, and your brother was no match for you. You severed his arm with one blow.
"Don't hurt my son!" Just as you're about to kill him, an elderly couple bursts out of their tent, swords drawn. You recognize them; they're your biological parents. "If you want to kill my son, you'll have to step over our bodies first!"
You didn't waste time talking to them and directly helped them get married.
As the scenes change, Zhou Xing grows from a young man into a man, makes many military achievements, and is even promoted to the position of centurion.
It was not until the Battle of Hulao Pass that Zhou Xing's fate took a sudden turn.
At the same time, the scene Chen Changfan saw became increasingly fragmented, as if there was some invisible force secretly interfering with the peeping of others.
In the 35th year, the southern barbarians from the Shiwan Mountains invaded Dawu and attacked all the way to Hulao Pass. Zhou Xing, as one of the defenders, witnessed the battle firsthand. It was a pure hell.
In the picture, Chen Changfan saw a seemingly endless tide of terrifying beasts.
There is a group of wild boars that are as big as giant bears, with sharp fangs and steel backs that gleam with metallic luster.
The giant golden python was as thick as a bucket, and when its head was raised high, it was more than one person tall.
There are strange creatures with rat heads and human bodies, controlling the rat tide to attack, crushing them in all directions.
A giant ape, covered in white hair, stood upright, hurling millstone-sized stones that smashed the city walls to pieces.
In the sky, a ferocious bird with red eyes was circling. On the ground, a centipede beast with colorful body was spewing poisonous mist.
The barbarian army was approaching like a giant covering the sky and blocking out the sun, and they surrounded Hulao Pass tightly. The Dawu defenders had no choice but to fight to the death.
It was the first time that Chen Changfan had witnessed a battle of this scale, especially those enemies, who were terrifying beings that he had never imagined.
The monsters and savages from the Ten Thousand Mountains seem to have many shadows of extraordinary creatures, such as the golden python and the upright white ape.
He originally thought that this kind of extraordinary creature should be an extremely rare species, but who would have thought that in the Ten Thousand Mountains, there were so many of them that they could be organized into an army.
The further back he went, the more incomplete the scenes Chen Changfan saw became.
However, judging from those fragmented battle scenes, it was obvious that the defenders of the Dawu Dynasty were in a passive situation.
Just as Hulao Pass was about to be breached by the demon army, a blurry figure rose into the sky from the human camp.
He stepped into the air step by step, as if he had really stepped through the void. The blurry figure suddenly raised his hand, and a bright beam of light condensed in his palm.
As he chopped down with his palm, a blade of light spanned between heaven and earth, slashing towards the demon army.
The sword light was so strong and terrifying, like the scorching sun that people could not look directly at it. Before Chen Changfan could see how the sword light was swung down, he saw the army of monsters and barbarians being swallowed by huge waves and falling down in an instant.
Boom!
The image shattered so suddenly that Chen Changfan couldn't even see what the blurry figure would do next.
Just at the moment when the picture was broken, Chen Changfan caught a glimpse of the figure that seemed to be falling rapidly, like a meteorite falling from the sky.
Perhaps swinging such a powerful sword must have taken all the strength of that strong man...
Chen Changfan speculated that the mysterious expert might have been seriously injured, or perhaps his realm had fallen. However, without further details to refer to, and with only a fleeting glimpse through Zhou Xing's reincarnation perspective, he could only make such a guess. Even so, that scene, like a divinely descended palm strike, was deeply imprinted in his mind, lingering for a long time.
[Reincarnation is interrupted, no rewards yet. ]
This was the first time that the cycle of reincarnation was interrupted, and Chen Changfan couldn't help but think of the mysterious strong man whose face could not be seen.
Perhaps the person was too powerful to block the prying eyes, or perhaps the battle involved so many people that someone did not want the details of the battle to be known to outsiders.
"Young friend Changfan, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Xing's voice woke Chen Changfan up. He came back to his senses, adjusted his breathing, and said with a smile, "I just suddenly remembered something. I heard that dragons were not rare creatures in the past. For example, eighteen years ago, there were dragons appearing in the Battle of Hulao Pass. I heard that Master Zhou also participated in the Battle of Hulao Pass. Have you ever seen a dragon in that battle?"
Chen Changfan quietly activated the Qi-gazing technique and secretly observed the color of the "Qi" on Zhou Xing's body without making a sound.
